At one time I had 9 C4040s. I sold them all along with a lot of other very nice chips to pay the bills  Now I just want a few of them back 
Hopefully I can find a few people to trade with. I have a lot of nice Intel chips for anyone wanting to do some trading. I will try and get a trade list posted sometime this weekend. |

The world Financial Crisis found all of us to some degree. At least while stocks and everything else tanked, chips seemed to do the opposite and they increased in value! 
I bet you feel happy you had them to keep the bills paid...

Yeah, I guess I am lucky I didn't sell off the entire collection. I still have almost all of my non CPUs chips along with a descent quantity of CPUs. I will have to build another site some day to display some of what I have left. |

That sucks. It's not right that you have to sell something you enjoy so much. Beside my small collection of CPUs (none of them in the price range of a c4040 I guess) I have a not so small collection of football shirts, some of them I bought from collectors that had to sell them. I made sure, that they are in good hands now and I hope the CPUs you had to sell are in good hands right now. |
Football shirts  lol
.. what about football shorts? |

Hi Lee,
nice to see you are back and can pay your bills (including chip bills)
Good luck with your rebuild plans.
Did you get anything managed with your recycling etc. idea you mentioned long ago?
Unfortunately I actually have only one C4040 but maybe ask simmayor, I think he has some more than the one with cracked legs.

I now work for a company that sales Off-lease computer equipment. I run the refurb department and Internet Sales. I sell a lot of stuff on eBay as eBay username: epcsales and I have access to thousands of CPUs a month at our recycling plant. Most are PIII and older P4 stuff but there is also a lot of server stuff as well. I plan on going over to our recycling plant some time next week. Hopefully I can find some neat stuff |

Yeah, I have it on good authority that epcsales know what they are looking at We mostly sell computer equipment and not computer chips though. If you look at our sales you will see I sell a lot of PC and notebooks. I now have 8 computers in my home.  Anyone want to buy or trade for a PC? |

Here is an example of one of their listings.. the must be some internal numbering system to locate items as it is used on all listings 
but if they ever have a ES to sell.. I would never know

Ahh, yes that is an internal thing. The ES stands for E-Scrap and the S3 is the shelf location where it is located. The No mean that there is no code unique number with the item. Our company tracks serial numbered items and this item is basically a pull from one of those type items. We at one time had over 2000 listings, down to about 1000 now as most of my sales I do outside of eBay. I am in the process of selling 156 CF-29 Panasonic toughbooks with GPS to a guy in California this week. The total sale is just over $50K and I work on commission |
