Evaluating old Dell Hardware

So there is this old Dell hardware, which would be bundled together with the things I actually want, namely

 

1x Powervault MD3000 with 2 dual port controllers

1x Powervault 124T tape library

1x Poweredge 2950 dual X5410, 8GB (~50 bucks from what I've seen)

All working and in good condition.

 

To make the deal worth while I need to know for how much I can resell them.

So if anyone's got any ideas it would really held me out.

done that.

For both MD3000 and 124t I've seen prices ranging from ~300 to to >1500. Because of this inconsistancy I just want to get a second opinion.

Your going to have to look on ebay and have some good luck. Its pretty hit or miss with the tape vault in terms of pricing the 2950 should be a pretty good price because a lot of them are being retired from the enterprise and business. In terms of resale value you will probably be the last one using the server depending on how long you keep it for in a couple years those servers will use way to much power and will not have much value left.
