Help: Where to find quantities of older hardware?

Gutter · 03-12-2004, 01:57 PM

I'm working on a commercial product that will require an inventory of 50 or more Epia 5000 (533Mhz version) motherboards. These are a few years old and are difficult to find.

This question is to some of you who regularly sell in this forum (digitalww, et al): Where are good places to locate older hardware like this? Do you guys get most of your inventory through auctions?

And don't say Ebay.

I can have 50 of these to you in a week. Price would be 6810.35 Shipped, after tax. Thats $136.00 per board. If you purchased 100 boards, I could get the price down to $117 per board, after tax, shipped.

I can get the 8k's for $85 each retail (which are fine since they are fanless). I'm not really looking for dealers, but public auctions, distributors, or whoever else you use to find hardware like this. I know I can find these for ~$75 a piece at this quantity. PM me if you don't want the info public.
