3 year old server - any value

limklad1974

Hi there
I run a small business and purchased a server three years ago. Spec is below, prices are in sterling. I also had to purchase a SQL Server 2005 Processor license which cost £5000 (sterling). We have run into financial difficulty.

Is there any re-sale value on this equipment, as we no longer need it.

Where is the best place to advertise this equipment if there is.

I'll give you 20e for it, if you can deliver to Dublin City Center....

Edit:

Just as a note both of CarePaq & Win Vol Lic are worthless since the HP is expired and you can't transfer either {plus Win Vol Cal is not anywhere near 660e}.

Throw it up on Advert.ie to see if you can get a better offer but don't hold your breath....

Check on eBay, the biggest killer for anyone buying one of those secondhand is shipping, they weight a lot and can cost quite a bit to ship.

What normal i advise the customers is to keep the server for the Liquidator report...they can be shown on the final note and based on the original invoice... can have a real "face value" than advertising it on the adverts !!

Isnt the SQL Server processor license worth something though, seeing as I paid £5000 for it?

Surely someone who needs a database server could make use of this?

Please paid for a non-transferable license to run SQL on that Server so it is worth less to anybody else.

Technically even if you sell the Hardware the buyer would have to re-license Windows & SQL again.

limklad1974, where was your server hosted all the time?
Is there any warranty remaining on it?

Thank you,

Worthless - Microsoft software licences are non transferable. Most small businesses would have used mySQL for free.

are you Selling the Hardware could take it off you...

The hardware is worth more than €100 in fairness.

The server itself is probably worth 300-400 euro.

If it's an OEM copy then bound to the motherboard of that machine

If it's retail then it would be worth some of the difference between a full copy of SQL and a upgrade copy of SQL if that exists.

If bought under a volume license not sure what the ramifications of transferring ownership are. ( there were court cases in the US not sure how they ended )

If the license is transferrable then might it be of value to someone runing a legacy system for example with dual cpu as a way to enable both cpu's as a quick upgrade ?

JDxtra

It's noisy if you're putting it in your bedroom. These servers belong in datacentres or smaller comms rooms.

It's worth an awful lot more than €100 and the RAM can be easily upgraded. Maybe sell it to a specialist liquidation company rather than adverts or eBay.

asif2011

It's worth €500 tops, licenses are non-transferable. The server below has 8Gb RAM, it's as noisy as hell for any home user, if someone gives you €400 bit their hand off...
