Selling some OpenBSD Router gear (for within EU)

April 15th, 2023

Update: A potential buyer has been found. Sorry to everyone else, it's as good as gone. If the payment doesn't happen there may still be a chance so keep watch for a few days. Thanks!
Update 2: These are really APU1C's which the buyer has been made aware of I don't think they are APU1D's after all, if they still want it despite all's the same
Update 3: edited the dmesg's a little to put in line breaks
Update 4: the routers left my residence today at 18:00, there is no chance now to sell it to someone else. Thanks OpenBSD Community! I <3 U.

Dear European OpenBSD Community,

I'm selling off some used router gear (APU (amd64) and Ubiquiti (octeon))
and I thought it is fair to ask here first if you want to buy it.

I have 2 APU1C's with 2 GB and 4 GB RAM respectively both have a 30 GB or so
mSATA SSD in them, but no wifi.  They each have 3 re(4) interfaces and are in
working order.  I think I bought them between 2014 and 2016 from 
https://www.apu-board.de/ .  They probably don't have any more warrantee.

Also I'm parting with a Ubiquiti Networks Security Gateway which is
an OpenBSD/octeon computer.  This one will do about 100 Mbit/s over PPPoE
but not much more than that.  It has 512 MB of RAM and two cavium octeon cores.
For networking it sports three cnmac(4) ports.

These could be perfect for someone learning networking with BGP (perhaps) or
OSPF, or for support of these models.  Also for home router setups they'll
work.

For students I'm asking 100 EUR for all three routers and for non-students 
150 EUR.  If you are interested and are a student I require a scan of your 
student ID card if over the age of 18, and if under 18 I just require an ID 
scan to prove your date of birth.  Otherwise they'll cost 150 EUR.

Also I require you to pay shipping which departs from Schweinfurt, Germany to
your address (A donated macppc G4 Cube to Paris I think cost 25 EUR shipping
some years ago, the weight of all should be comparable to the cube).  I'm
likely shipping with DHL which is across the street.

The three routers together comprise of:

1 Blue cased APU1C with 4 GB RAM
1 German powersupply  (100-240V 50-60 Hz CE)
1 Red cased APU1C with 2 GB RAM
1 German powersupply (same as the one above)
1 Silver/white cased Security Gateway with 512 MB RAM
1 German powersupply matching this router
1 Blue Cisco-compatible cable (RJ45 to DB9) for the octeon
1 NULL modem cable (DB9 to DB9) for the APU's. (NRG systems calls these DE-9's)

All three routers have been upgraded to OpenBSD 7.3 and had their SSD filled
with /dev/random  from beginning to end to wipe any traces of my previous
operations.

Here is dmesg's of the Red and Silver routers:

WARNING: CHECK AND RESET THE DATE!

Blue is exactly the same as Red except for 2 GB more memory.

The reason I'm parting with them is that they were collecting dust and they
might still have some lifetime (although PC Engines once called EOL for the
APU's in 2022).  They are good for test setups is my thinking.
