What the hell is this supposed to mean?

Some people don't like upside-down pictures. To me it says sloppy or lazy. A quick Google search shows them as low as $97.00 too.
If i were to buy a tv or any other electronic equipment new and never open it for 3 or 4 years it would not be worth anywhere close to the msrp if i tried to sell it. You are trying to sell an old processor for the suggested retail price it sold at brand new when it was the newest socket on the market. It has been surpassed multiple times and is worth almost nothing now.
Most people on this thread have no interest in buying this from you and are simply trying to help.
In all honesty after reading through the thread you end up looking like you are simply trying to troll people with your posts.
Just because an item is listed for sale at X price all over the web doesn't mean anyone is buying at that price. Not trying to give you hard time but for all we know those cpus have been sitting on a shelf for 6 months.
My boss does that same thing when pricing items and can't figure out why they don't move. " I see them buy it now one ebay for $600 so that's what we are gunna price it at." Just ignores the finished auctions for $300.
Either way good luck with the sale! I hope you get the most you can!
Ok it's listed here for less than mine and it says it's boxed, so I guess I'm lowering my price. However, not to where any of these replies besides from myself have. Here it is for less than what I found it listed for:
http://www.memory4less.com/m4l_itemdetail.aspx?itemid=1463663246&partno=BX80614E5603&rid=1
I have relisted them at this ebay link here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/231492163794?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
I have temporarily ended the listing for these until I'm sure I will have no use for thse again.
I am absolutely sure I want to sell the processors now. They have been relisted as Buy it Now here:
Intel Xeon E5603 Westmere-EP 1.6GHz Socket 1366 Processor 1066MHz FSB
OMG!!!! This thread is over a year old and you just held on to the processor?
Just give it to your cousins brother business and be done. You have tried long and hard, and no one has purchased it for the price you want
It seems that giving away to the fam is the only solution that you will accept. So just do it. As you can see the prices you want is not what people are willing to spend
The only reason I responded is because I am actually hunting for xeon processor for my spare x58 mobo.
Good luck.

I'm about to just end the listing for these and give them to my cousin for my brothers business possibly.
I think part of the reason you can't get your price is because 70% of people who have a socket 1366 motherboard probably don't even know what a Xeon is.
I think part of the reason you can't get your price is because 70% of people who have a socket 1366 motherboard probably don't even know what a Xeon is. It's something only people with IT experience or a little server knowledge would even recognize in the first place. Most consumer motherboards won't advertise compatibility with Xeons even if they have it, so buying them is something of a risk for the average consumer. That's why they're priced low on a place like eBay. The low clock speed and high number of cores won't appeal to the average consumer.
Would your processor be worth that price to a business that needed replacement parts for an aging server that wasn't very clock-speed sensitive running some kind of multi-threaded application? Quite possibly, but most businesses will have the money to buy a new server. And most reputable businesses don't source parts from eBay. They'll pay the premium to a reputable source like AVADirect for old server parts. You're selling something built for the server closet to the masses who don't appreciate Xeons or their feature set. You might be able to sell it to a company that tests these parts thoroughly and resells them to large businesses, but you won't get much better price.
Compare the prices on eBay for something like a genuine QX9770 to the Xeon equivalent... you'll see that the originals can still fetch hundreds of dollars, where as people will only pay a fraction of that for the Xeon equivalents. It's all about branding and marketing... Intel has marketed Core 2 Quad Extreme, and older Xeons just don't fetch good prices in the market unless you're AVADirect or some other supplier that businesses go to for replacement server parts.
In other words, the big money in business will go for large suppliers due to contracts, paranoia, and need for reliability... while the big money on the consumer side will go to the chips with the best marketing and name recognition. Gamers and enthusiasts know what a QX9770 is. They don't know what a Xeon is, or at best they'll have some vague sense that it's something people shove in a server closet that's probably not useful to the average consumer.
I'm saying, you are not in a position to command the price you're asking. As an individual seller of an enterprise-class part, your bargaining power is extremely limited.
No, its because you can buy one for $8.99.
Intel® Xeon® Processor E5603 4M Cache 1.60 GHz 4.80 GT/s Processor (SLC2F) 8.99 on ebay.
Lot of 28 Intel Xeon X5650 X5550 E5640 E5603 E5645 Processors lot of 28 various xeons for 106.00 current bid.
I think the problem is every one here sees that the E56xx chips are really out dated and not worth nearly what you feel they are. The warranty doesn't really matter. For the price you were asking for your processors you can buy multiple and have spares.
You can pick up the E5-2670 V1 for ~$60 each now an they blow those chips out of the water (ARK | Compare Intel® Products). Motherboards for the 1366 chips are cheaper but for the price of your processors and motherboard to go with it you can buy a dual E5-2670 with Intel Motherboard and 64GB of ram. See this thread on STH Motherboard/CPU/Memory Bundles for sale )
Where can you get these for $8.99? I think your making this up and I wouldn't buy these for that price because they probably don't work or have a warranty. Also at that price your really scrapping the bottom of the barrel to get a good deal and I think I've priced mine reasonably low enough compared to other reputable sellers and businesses even if I'm not a business. I can't take a the kind of loss you expect me to take by selling mine for that low anyway and I disagree that these belong at the bottom of a trash can, like my cousin said because these processors have advantages of desktop processors that either users on here don't understand or care about and I can't appeal to the business crowd that would on here or by not being a business. Obviously more memory support and more processor features aren't appealing to anyone using something that lacks these or they are using something better, like E5 2011v1, v2, v3, or maybe even E3's or the highend 4th, or just 5th and 6th generation I series processor because they have better feature than these processors even if they don't support as much memory. I'll lower the price when necessary compared to reasonable fair market comparision, but I'm not going to depreciate them or sell them for a ridiculously low $8.99 because that's obsurd.
Yea thanks for comparing mine to a once in a life time opportunity although I guess mine is too. I've done all that I can though and I'm taking best offers too, but you people are ridiculous and just seem reply with these responses to piss me off. To quite honest I'm using E5 2603's right now in my latest build because I can't afford better at the moment, so I find it hard to believe theirs no one else in the same situation or worse that can make use of these or might have a need for them. I mean I want a far quad core or a six core, but can't do it and find something reliable. The only thing I see is that either the people on here are cheapos or worse off than me and are in desperate need of a good bargain, which I can deal with just not these unfair comparisons.
I had W5580's with these, but they had bad memory controller's. Therefore, I'd be taking a huge risk if the entire memory controller suddenly died or loss in internal bandwidth with them, so I didn't keep them and I don't want to keep these because I have no motherboard for them. I'm not helping anybody out by giving them to my cousin because he turns around and sells them anyway. Also he baits you with the low price and then gauges you an shipping for way more than that, so how is that any better. He specifically told me if I would have build him a server with the parts when I had them that him and my brother would turn around and sell them for golf money, so mean while they use a shotty old desktop as their file server and don't take much advantage of business technology.
In addition, have a poor solution in the event of failure from what I've been told and don't have an I.T. department to run it, so I don't know how they handle it. However, I think they let any warehouse employee do almost anything they want to keep the system working , which is fine in that sense. However, that is not secure even if if their not handling important information, but what about credit card information. I don't think he outsources either, but he does have a solution that is working for the most part and that's what I've had to deal with when offering to help. it's not really my place to help, but those would be my concerns, but I'm getting off topic probably. Basically I can't even give these away to someone who has more need for them than someone who might be able to pay for them too, which is also frustrating and I'll leave it at that.
I'm not asking you to lower your price, you should ask whatever it is you want.
I'm only giving you input because you seem confused about why they are not selling
As far as where to get one for $8.99, I'm not making that up at all, its already been shown that you can get one here.

The E5-2670 is not a once in a life time thing, the low prices have been going on for more than a few months dropping from over $200 to $60. You are going to see more and more newer chips coming up for lower prices (pushing yours even further away) as datacenter hardware gets off lease and gets parted out (that's where these E5-2670's are coming from). You can try to sell your chips for as much as you want but on here don't expect much from them. People here are on average are more tech savvy than your normal person off the street and they are not going to pay a premium for a long discontinued slower chip. That's not to say you are not going to find a buyer, there could be someone keeping a old machine running and wants exactly what you are selling. Good luck, server hardware is fickle market.
