When the company that sold the used sun equipment faxed me the price sheet for the parts that they have in stock, I was very happy. I had been out pricing these parts all day at different local computer stores and this company was about thirty percent less than all of them. I called to see how long it would take after I placed the order, for the used sun hardware to ship and I was shocked to hear that it would leave the warehouse today.
I think that having it shipped out the same day you order it should be the standard for all internet companies, but I know that it is not. I went forward with my big order of used sun equipment and paid the full amount with my credit card. Saving thirty percent and just having to wait about twenty four hours, was definitely worth it.
When the parts came in, our computer department was shocked that I found all of them in one place and for such great prices. They were able to install all the used sun hardware and have everything back up and working in less than a couple of hours. I know that maybe the downtime cost a bit of money but the saved money was worth the wait.
