Hi,

 

Usually we trade in old equipment when we buy new. But if you don?t have any
new deal upcoming try to find a ?broker? or try ebay (don?t forget cost of
shipment). The brokers can usually buy equipment and resell them to other
countries or other firms with lower demands or less money depending how you
want to see on it
 The problems with these kinds of deals are that the
person/firm that buys the hardware cheep doesn?t get any access to software,
firmware or microcodes. If they want these kinds of things they need to
contact for instance STK any sign a support deal or something, which will
cost a lot of money
 But for your own well being, try!!

?mne: [Veritas-bu] Have to get rid of STK L180

 

I?m wondering what people do with their old hardware.  We have an L180 (in
Denver with 8 SDLT drives) and L80 (in Miami with 2 SDLT drives).  We need
to keep one of them to process old tapes but need to get rid of one due to
space constraints.  My first question - Is anyone interested in buying one
of these?  Second question ? How do other companies get rid of their old
backup equipment?  I have someone that will take the L80 but then I found
out it still has value on the books.  Just thought I?d check to see if there
was any interest in purchasing one of these.  FYI - SUN/StorageTek has
quoted us $4K+ to pack/ship/certify the L80, to get it to Denver.
