SGI Memorabilia

[Biosym]

Hey Community!
Great to stumble over this forum! I have quite some history with SGI, some background in my profile.
I have a good number of SGI memorabilia. No computing items, except some SGI branded pocket calculators.
I thought there might be some interest in this user group. Is this the right place for advertizing them?

Thanks for your patience and please don´t be mad at me when this is the wrong forum. Just tell me!

Welcome! This is absolutely the right forum, and I would guess that there is a lot of interest

It's up to you how you would like to sell them but location and pricing information might get things going. How much for the metal tumbler?

Hey Elf! Thanks for welcoming me! Well, finding the right price certainly is an issue. Then, I am based in Germany, which adds a substantial shipping cost. The tumbler is a silver-tin alloy and came with the bottle of wine. It´s height is ca. 8 cm which is around 3.2 inches and carries the punch of a high quality manufacturer in Neichatel, Switzerland. Thats also where the wine comes from - and btw was the seat of the European HQ of SGI.
About 2 years ago I saw the tumbler alone on a collectors web-site, carrying an indecent price tag. However, it´s gone since long, so somebody obviously bought it. The SGI BRAUN pocket calculator currently is on ebay for about 50 EUR.
At the moment I have no idea for the tumbler/wine. What do you think would be a for both sides fair price tag?
Here some more pics.

Ah, the international aspect might be difficult as I am in the U.S., and importing alcohol is, I believe, something of a process. I wish I could offer pricing advice but I would not even know where to start!

However, we do have a number of EU members who may be able to trade more easily.

Hi and welcome!

Impressive! Both the memorabilia and your bio

I've been in Cortaillod last year to pick up an Octane2 from an ex SGI employee.

Please do not sell bottle and the silver-tin tumbler separately.. they belong together!

Well, I'd be interested too, I even have a "pick post" address in Germany, but also have no clue yet how much to offer

Dear all!

I am really surprised and very glad to see that there are numerous people who have not forgotten about those phantastic machines! Great to see that there is a large number of younger people enjoying IRIX and the geometry engine. The feedback to my two items was phantastic. I have to let you know that the box with the wine and the tumbler went to Italy. I am pretty sure that it will find a proper place to be displayed.

If there is interest in the calculator, let me know. I have it on Ebay with a start of 50 EUR.
If somebody here in the community wants it, I´ll give it away for 50,-€.

Cheers from Germany
