I agree with Eric. Suns of just about all vintages are common here in Silicon 
Valley. Not to be unexpected, however, since this is Sun's "headquarter" 
location. I've seen everything from IPXs to current Sunfire systems 
at "Weirdstuff Warehouse" and "Auction BDI" on a fairly regular basis.

If you're interested in vintage Sun gear - and it's not available in your 
area - you might want to join the "Suns at Home" list. It's a low volume list 
which keeps "on topic":
