I can, but not ones you could easily get at :)

Have you seen what goes on ebay.co.uk ?  IPXs and ELCs
go for LOADS!  They're things, that shipping from the
US costs just too much, and there are loads of people
in this country hungry for cool unix boxen -
especially suns :)  I could easily make a huge wodge
of cash with my stack of sun gear - but they're *mine*
:)

NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Please offer stuff here first!  Many of
us have cars/bikes and can collect or swap stuff in
person, if needs be.  It's only a little country :) 
What have you got?  Any *early* sun gear?  I _want_ a
sun2, but i've only got 3 of the sun3's, and 7 or so
sparcs, so quite a way to go for my collection.  I
want every sun. :)  Failing this, ebay uk, but not a
secondhand dealer - they're useless.  RE:
www.acara.co.uk !!!! 500 quid for a sparc2??????  Even
with a TGX its about 10x over priced!

Dave.
