I have AlphaStations in Sydney, Australia which are free to good homes. 
  A pile of AS200s and a very big pile of AS255s (I think - I'll have to 
check again).

I probably have enough to give at least one to everybody active on 
9fans. (I'm not kidding).

I have to get rid of them too.

E-mail me off-list if you're interested to negotiate transport/pickup.

I will also make it clear that I don't have time to pre-test to weed out 
broken units or to run around chasing couriers, so only if you're 
serious, thanks.
