I bought my Ultra2 (2x170Mhz,512MB RAM, 2z4.3GB SCSI HD) on eBay for $71 ($96
after shipping) _from_ anysystems.com 

They sell some of their "Ugly Ducklings" on eBay to introduce potential buyers
to them, that being said, if I were in the market for an older, but not
ancient used Sun, they'd get my business

I even got a little squeezable duckie ^_^


I'd recommend looking through their eBay store before their own e-store
