You have it backwards. They can strip off all the stuff besides x and sell it. You will pay Y for the server then you need the side mounts (with might cost you $15 but separate its $50 or new ones at $110) and the hardware (should be about $0.75 per bolt/ cage nut combo buying by the 20# box) but you are paying $2.00 for each combo.
Given one would think each rack mount server shipped with matching rails from the factury, the number of rails and servers on the planet should be in sync. How can there even be a market for used rails split from the server other than due to clueless removal and failure to keep the parts together. I guess they could be doing it on purpose to make a killing on the rails while making the servers look "cheap" by not including the needed rails. -- Len Sorensen
