[rescue] Sunblade 1000 - going rate?

[Peter Stokes]

Hi

The 1000/2000 and 2500 are pretty much apples and oranges comparison. The 2500 especially the silver are still sought after for keeping production systems going. I have two old customers this year buying them ( not through me, passed on enquiry to friend) , but the 1000 was never popular in the second hand market probably due to high current and FCAL disks as well as being lower speed CPUs to the 2500 and very heavy!

I do however agree that a few hundred dollars would be sensible maybe more if upgraded to dual1200 or the close to that CPUs ie upgraded to 2000 spec
