Re: How much to buy an second hand IBM i hardware and what about licences

Be careful when buying older used because these do not include software (OS, compilers, etc.). A while back a company gave me a system and after checking into software pricing, it was cheaper to buy a new system.

If you are patient you will see a system come up for auction, no reserve,
every few months. The selling price being $400 to $600.

Hi ,

Does anyone know how much it would cost to buy a second hand ibm system i
hardware with i5/OS.

I am enquiring out of curiosity, say I want to use it to start a training
center or want to be an independent?

Thanks and Regards,
