IBM does have a program where they will pack up your 3590-H's and take
them off your hands free of charge.  We deinstalled 12 of them last week,
and could not find any used brokers that wanted them.

At least IBM's program will ensure proper disposal.

 When we did this exercise some years ago it was concluded that the
 market value of the 3590 drives was less than half the expense of
 banding them for maintenance.

 3590 equipment is of negative value in the general market, and those
 folks who are still using it are aware of this, so difficult to trick
 into paying real money.

 If you're lucky, you'll find someone who's willing to pay for the
 shipping, if you give them away.

What would 3490-C2A worth.  Less than nothing?  They are probably worth
less than the annual maintenance cost.

Depending on the criticality, it might be a negative value considering
maintenance costs for old hardware.  Best bet would be to ask those
used/refurbished online places.

There are companies that purchase old/used media, erase it, then resell it.

David,
If you want to email me individually, I can give you a line on both
issues. We just retired a 3494, a 3584, and thousands of 3590 and 3592
cartridges about a year ago.
