Depends on the number of CPUs, RAM, disks, etc.  A fully loaded one
(8 CPUs, 1Gig or more of RAM, SCSI cards, etc) can go for upwards
of $1K or more, while lower-end configs can often be had for little
or NO money (I recently got a SS1000 (non-E) with 192Meg RAM, quad
540Meg HDs, and dual SM51 CPUs for $20 locally).

Most of them that I've seen seem to go for around $500 or so.

None of the ones that "sold" on ebay (looks like these didnt, at all) range
from $200 to $750...
