Motherboards can be found at http://www.macresq.com and http://www.shrevesystems.com/ although a lot of times they are refurbished and processors new can be found here http://www.sonnettech.com/ and http://eshop.macsales.com/ . Of course if you have time all these things can be found on http://www.ebay.com/. And for everything else use http://www.pricewatch.com/ for ram, video card, etc. As for specifications on each board starting from g3s go to http://www.info.apple.com/support/applespec.html.

Are you legally allowed to sell your copy of Windows 2K to a third party?

If you are, then they should be able to add the "price" of the licenses to the price of the company and list it as an asset.

If you're not, then this makes more sense.

A search for "Microsoft Windows" on ebay returns 1040 results.

But, contrary to popular opinion, Superman's not just dumb muscle. He's pretty damn smart himself. And he knows that Batman has the kryptonite, and can plan for that. It's not a simple case of brains vs brawn, since Superman has both.

Purely from an intellectual stand-point, Superman has absolutely nothing on Batman. Superman isn't dumb muscle, but in no way is he even close to Batman's level. From the very beginning this has been well documented, and that is why Batman is such a great hero.

Since I'm arguing about a fictional flying man, I'd better not respond to that one. :)
When DKR/DKR2 came out, I was so relieved as my playground arguments were valid. Batman really does win. If you haven't read this I would recommend it. Wonderful story ^_^

There's a couple on eBay And at $41.00, not too expensive.

All this talk about them being so rare...are they really?

Here's one and another SX-64.
Not trying to troll here. I happen to collect (original, full size) arcade machines from the eighties, so I understand the pain when I see one gutted.

Maybe 10 years ago your statement would have been true...

But go on e-bay and you will find a ton of old sun boxes, i've seen IPC's for 5 dollars, 5 fucking dollars for a system that was not engineered to be a "Genereal Purpose" box.

Here's a few links randomly grabbed from e-bay. (Note this is better stuff than IPX/IPC's..)

Sun

Sun
Ultra Enterprise 2,1024MB,2x300MHz,9GB $405.00

Sun
Ultra 10 Workstation w/ 21in Monitor $575

Yeah, 10 years ago, I would have totally agreed with you. But today, sun hardware is easy to get, and why fuck yourself with hardware that isn't going to retain it's resale value or less than server class construction? Why even bother with desktop 3 layer process motherboards that needs heatsinks up the ass for overclocked, overworked IO glue chips when you could have something that was built right the first time for the same price?

You must buy a lotta crack with that Solaris cert you got, cause your reasoning makes me think you're crack smokin.

Half and Ebay

For you and the others who didn't bother reading the article: some scuzbag broke into the Abi account and used it to pay for an eBay auction. As a result, I suspect it will be not-extremely-difficult to catch this wacko (as he had to have it shipped.) I sincerely hope that all parties involved pursue this to the extent of the law.

I also am a little uneasy about PayPal. I use it frequently and haven't had any major problems, but I am aware that there are people who have been royally screwed. I hope that the new management (eBay) bring a new level of customer responsiveness to the company.

Many equations were solved with that fine machine.

(Not my Auction, BTW)

ouch, what an awful mistake! if you can find the DW games on ebay i definitely recommend purchasing them. or the ROMs ;) by far the BEST games ever made for NES. too bad they were horribly underproduced and negligibly marketed. everything2 has some good writeups on the DW series. dragon warrior 4 rules

Forgot to include a link, for those who like to click things.

Remember when Microsoft signed on as a buddy and had eBay cancel hundreds of legal Windows sales under the guise of stopping piracy? eBay even had all those hundreds of negative ratings of the Microsoft buddy account set to neutral. After the big flap over it, it disappeared. Used to be here.

The guy's web site clearly states that he complied with all E-Bay rules. He is the copyright owner, which he stated in his listings.

You can't list any CD-R, except blank ones. See rules. I've sold many motherboards and other computer hardware on ebay, and used to provide a CD-R with updated drivers on it. But my competitors started reporting me to safe harbor (ebay gestapo) and my auctions got pulled. The rule is: no CDR's. He did break that rule.

Check out my current auctions!

here is one. That is a bootleg. I found it on my first search, too.

This one will probably be caught since the record label that was going to put it out (Caroline) has been aggressively stopping bootleggers... Since they still want to put it out eventually (legal battles within the band have kept it from coming out officially).

It'll probably definitely get caught now that I've linked it on /. My apologies to the seller!

If you're an eBay member, login to eBay, go to the Rules and Safety area and send them the following note, or something similar. You might even "accidentally" send it twice.

"Why won't you give haydenswall an answer?"

Hmm, I wonder if they follow RFC's and read postmaster@ebay.com and webmaster@ebay.com?

My Deep House CD
Another pirated CD

Contrast that to a *real* listing.

So, basically, this guy bought my box-set back in July. He's been duplicating my CD's and selling them in the German market for months. Despite the blatant infringement (he even took my HTML), I don't think I have any recourse. Heck, it's sorta flattering.

Hell, I don't care if people have bad taste. The real kicker is this search. What the hell do they think they're doing?

I'm complained a dozen times about auctions like this where someone is selling material that obviously violates TSR's copyright. Yet the response every time is that the owner of the copyright has to make the complaint.

Well, I've been selling my DJ mix CD's on eBay for several years now. My best seller is an 8-CD box set. Yes, these are CD-R's, as most duplication houses won't press *real* CD's in quantities of less than 1000. (Plus, this way, I have greater control over inventory) Of the 1500+ CD's I've sold in the past two years on eBay, only three buyers ended up with unplayable CD's. In those cases, I refunded their money or tried an alternative means of distribution (i.e. CD-RW discs that work in machines where CD-R's don't....or duplication at lower speeds). That's the right thing to do.

I've never had an issue with eBay throughout all of this. I don't state explicitly in the auction listings that these are CD-R's. That's unnecessary information. It's all about the content at that point. I think their violation-detection process is poor. I've had auctions forcefully cancelled for using words like "ass" (as in "Funky-ass house mix CD") or using the real titles of some of the raunchier tracks I play. It happens, though.

If y'all want to hear some good house music, hit up my website.

If they're doing such a great job, they need to stop stuff like this:

Pirated Virtual Hammond auction #1
Pirated Virtual Hammond auction #2
Pirated Virtual Hammond auction #3

This guy has been trying to sell this stuff off and on for months and the auctions keep getting shut down, but nothing ever happens to him

Okay, so I can go on Ebay, and buy these, but I can't buy a burned CD-R of an indie band's music?

Where's the sense in that?

You left out the eBay Community!

Maybe you should read the book about eBay.

I was in the market for a larger flatscreen since my 4 year old Hitach superscan elite CRT was showing its age. After looking around, there was no way I was going to pay $2000 for a 21in LCD when good 21in CRT's are available on ebay for less than $300. I ended up purchasing a Sony CDP-G520P at NewEgg. Its flat. its 21in, and its silver so it will match everything else since silver seems to be dominate color these days. Whenever someone walks in to my room the first thing the comment on is the monitor. Stick with CRT unlesss you can deal with a 15in LCD.

You just list everything that you own on eBay and send it out. When you're at your new apartment you go back on eBay and have the same things delivered. eBay has categories for everything, so all your stuff will be nicely organized.

eBay is your new best friend. But do some research first.

I wonder if NeXT machines had fans. It's well known that Steve Jobs has problems with fans (not the people, though).

• Score: -24 to -10: Ghost. Ghost players attack (post comments) with a -1 threshold, making them unable to hit any target except those who choose to be hit. Ghost players are limited to two attacks per day, and the label 'Terrible' is placed next to their name.
  
• Score: -9 to -1: Zombie. Zombie players attack with a threshold of Zero, making only their subject lines visible and reducing the effectiveness of their attacks. Zombie players, like ghost players, can only attack twice per day, and the label 'Bad' is placed next to their name.
  
• Score: Zero: Dying player. In this transitional state, a player appears to be a normal player, but the label 'Neutral' is placed by their name to signal that they are close to death.
  
• Score: 1-12: Journeyman. A journeyman player can attack ten times a day with a score of one. The label 'Positive' is placed by their name.
  
• Score: 12-25: Adventurer. An Adventurer attacks with the same effectiveness as a journeyman, but has the label 'Good' placed by their name.
  
• Score: 26-50: Sword Saint. A sword saint can devastate his opponents in combat, attacking with a bonus of +2 and flaming them up to twenty-five times per day. Sword Saint players have a distinct advantage, but they are not invincible.
  

For those of you who want more pictures, I found that there are a few of those up for sale on Ebay with a nice collection of pictures

I have an Alesis Nanoverb that I use for sound design work. You can get them on Ebay for under $100. Acording to the specs you can get over 1200ms delay per channel (loop left out to right in for 2400ms or about 2.5 seconds). Correcting the delay involves turning a nice analog knob.

The Alesis QuadraVerb has a full 5 seconds of delay per channel and should do the trick for you for about $130 .

You assert that there's no point to modchips, but there are some cases where it's a real no-brainer. Compare the cost of a Saturn mod chip (around $30) with the insane collector prices of the more notable games. You do the math.

And you only have to solder one wire in this case. A chimp could almost do it.

DISCLAIMER: I do not support or condone the above actions which make perfect economic sense.
