He&#x27;s full of crap. Any of them that are obviously in good condition go for thousands of dollars with T1 processors. Some of those without HD&#x27;s, used, and in unknown condition go for several hundred. Not apples to apples, though, as no business will depend on such unknowns for mission-critical stuff that SPARC is best used for.<p>Interesting enough, even the AlphaServers still sell for good money on eBay. Certainly they were great servers in their day but performance is <i>way</i> behind. While faster Itaniums from SGI you can get for $100-200. Old hardware market isn&#x27;t linear or predictable. Personally, though, I think those AlphaServers are still worth if if one understands OpenVMS clusters or PALcode. ;)
