Status
As of 2005, most Apple Network Servers had been removed from service and most had been returned to Apple or sold on the secondary market, either factory remanufactured or as-is, or sent to a recycler and crushed. It was once not uncommon for a well-featured ANS to barely recover the US$0.99 minimum bid on eBay. Shipping of an ANS is expensive, about US$100 from a US-to-US location, if sent via bulk shipping. Few, if any, replacement parts are available, particularly not the mechanical components. If and when available, these components sometimes appear at Silicon Valley electronics swap meets, perhaps most notably at the De Anza College electronics and ham radio swap meets (held on the second Saturday of every month, March through October, with a few exceptions).
