Re: Buying 170 - What's it worth, what's it missing?

Hi Brian,

the longer you wait, the cheaper it gets.

as much cpw as the 2385 has compared to other 170s, based on recent ebay
auctions and rapidly falling prices,  it would not go for more than $4000 on
ebay.   6 months from now, after the june hardware anouncements, I would
guess it is worth $2000.

I know of two fully loaded 720s that are being replaced over the next 6
months.  The seller will be lucky to get $6000 for each system.
