At work we have been holding a whole lot of APC units as cold spare for a big retail client and they just replaced everything so we have the cold spare stuff left over. 

 

All of it is “new in box” .. I did open up a couple to check .. but everything seems to be there and many are still strapped up from shipping.
All of them are at least 2 years old, some will be more.

 

Includes the following units and accessories:
1x SMT1000RMI2UC - 1,000VA 2U Rackmount  - $300
1x SMT2200RNI2U - 2,200VA 2U Rackmount - found a rail kit - $350

1x AP9360 Proximity Card Rack Lock Kit - $20
2x AP9897 C19 to 15A power cables - $10

 

SOLD 1x SRT5KMXLI - 5,000VA 3U Rackmount - $500
SOLD 1x SRT3000XLI - 3,000VA Tower - $500
SOLD 1x SMX120RMBP2U - 120V Battery pack for Extended runtime - $350
SOLD 1x RBC115 battery - $50
SOLD 1x RBC43 battery - $100
SOLD 4x SUA1000RMI1U - 1,000VA 1U Rackmount  - $300

For the 1000va and 2200VA rackmount, even if you need a whole lot of new battereis they are bretty cost effective (under $200 usually) e.g.
https://www.electronicworld.co.nz/shop/PowerBattery/APC+UPS+Battery+Replacement+and+Upgrade/APC+RBC34+Replacement+RT680+SLA+Battery+Kit%3Fsku=RBC34.html

 

Collection is Albany in Auckland .. not sure on shipping due to size, but seems like its around $100 for out of Auckland and about $20 in Auckland.

 

Not sure I will be able to plug them in and check battery capacity health etc so happy to offer a good discount from RRP and will provide DoA warranty if the UPS itself is bad (not batteries). 

 

Based on lots of great feedback I have added in some askin prices, but I am not sure what out of warranty UPS units would be worth and would prefer not to just go $1 NR on TradeMe so please send offers if you feel its not right.

 

Thanks

As someone who keeps an eye on TradeMe for cheap things for my home lab, there's the occasional bargain and lots of expensive stuff that never sells.

 

A couple of years back I paid about $100 for an Eaton rack unit that was "new old stock" like these. This was direct from the Eaton distributor on TradeMe and the price was less than 10% of RRP. I was happy with that, but mostly I see people asking ridiculous money.

If you can come up with some pricing, I might be interested in some or all of it, to fuel my insane technology hoarding habits. I have a particular interest in the 1x SRT3000XLI - 3,000VA Tower and 1x SRT5KMXLI - 5,000VA 3U Rackmount, because I'd like a UPS for my gaming machine.





Anything I say is the ramblings of an ill informed, opinionated so-and-so, and not representative of any of my past, present or future employers, and is also probably best disregarded.

While I'd love the tidyness of rackmount 1U UPS for the home internet and Home Assistant devices, I'd find it really hard to justify more than 10% of the price of SUA1000RMI1U (as googled).

 

Not trying to lowball, just stating what it's worth to me.

I have edited original post and added in some prices as a start based on feedback - thanks everyone who has shown some interest.

Since you sort of did ask for feedback...

 

The prices sound reasonable, and I would be tempted if not for the fact that the last two APC units I've had were complete lemons. The first insisted the battery was faulty fresh out of the box (not old stock). APC replaced the whole unit, but the replacement never warned the battery was failing. I put in one fresh lot of batteries after I found they had failed, but now it's sitting in the garage waiting for the next e-waste collection. Rackmount units - not the highest end product, but certainly expected to perform better than consumer junk. Sadly, I was mistaken.

Can the SRT5KMXLI be plugged into a normal 10amp wall socket or does it need a 15/20/30amp line?
