This is also spam.

Please repost at c.d.o.marketplace and/or ebay.com as is appropriate.
It is not appropriate to spam c.d.o.server.

Thank you.

The hardware may be cheap ... but the maintenance agreement with
HP won't be. ;-)

At that price you just throw it away and get another one.

I have customers who do that. Except, when they're that cheap, they
never throw anything away. I've considered asking for an old K-class
for my basement museum, but if I ask, then they'll be convinced it is
worth something. :-O

Seriously, it's often similar cost to buy a refurb'd newer box, get the
included (hopefully cheaper) maintenance, and make the old box a
standby until it dies or becomes way too underpowered, than to just
keep paying maintenance. YSLFMV (Your Software Licensing Fees May
Vary). (Don't forget to factor in depreciation and expensing tax
benefits).

Would they be willing to donate it to a non-profit Oracle user group?

Not mine ... the newly revitalized Victoria OUG in Victoria British
Columbia? If so let me know. I can probably get IOUG or HP to cover the
cost of shipping.

According to my experiences, the old production hardware is either
returned to its vendor as a part of a HW renewal contract or used in
less demanding role such as a development or a test server.
Usually, there is a requirement to have full support even for a standby
environment (it is part of a production environment anyway).
