Larry,

Bear in mind the great cross-pond ripoff where many vendors charge the
same price (or more ) in English pounds as in US
dollars when selling over here. As a result, the used systems are
probably artificially more expensive over here also.

For example, I have a price for a 918lx (same power as a 937) with 64 mb
of RAM, 2 GB disc, Dat and 20 user license for
7,900 pounds (roughly $13,243). Or another price for a 918lx, 32 mb of
RAM,4gb disc, an 8 user licence for 8,097.50
pounds ($13,573).....take your pick. I assume that comparable systems
are considerably cheaper in the US, e.g. about $7,000
?

You have a site near Worchester ?? Is that near Worcester , in
Worcestershire?  :-)

Cheers,

John Dunlop

 Larry, you wrote:

  I have a need to check firm prices for a used system in the UK.  the
  system would be a series 937lx,  96 Mb memory and 2-4gb discs.  2
  dtc/48,  console, 64 users license.
  we have a site near Worchester which has a system like this and the
EDS
  buyout seems a bit high for what we can get this system for in the
  states.
  any contacts which this list can provide would be greatly appreciated.
