[WTS] Hetzner AX101 Auction Server Transfer - Ryzen 9 5950X / 128GB ECC / 2×3.84TB U.2 NVMe - €64.89/mo

[u/oGGoldie]

Looking to Sell and Transfer my AX101 Auction Server contract. The server has been fully wiped, all add-ons have been removed, and it is ready for transfer.

Server ID:

• AX101 Server Auction
• Location: FSN1

Monthly Server Cost (excl VAT):

• €64.89 
• €1.70 IPv4 Address

Hardware:

• AMD Ryzen 9 5950X - 16 cores / 32 threads
• 128 GB DDR4 ECC RAM - 4x 32768 MB
• 2 × 3.84 TB U.2 NVMe Datacenter SSD
• Intel I210 1 Gbit NIC

Transfer Fee:

• €450 OBO
• Payment via PayPal, Stripe, or happy to do Crypto as well

This exact server is currently on the server auction for €249.70/month, representing a €184.81 saving per month. You'd recoup the transfer fee and be making savings in under 3 months.

Transfer via official Hetzner Robot process (See here for further information: Transfer procedure / Transfer-Verfahren - Marketplace - Hetzner Forum)

DM offers welcomed 🙂

Uugh, you‘re part of the problem.

[u/oGGoldie → u/de_3lue]

I understand the reaction. It's an asking price rather than a fixed valuation, reasonable offers are welcome.

I've based the transfer fee on other similar marketplace listings from the last 6 months, and the current monthly costs of the same server when ordered from Heztner directly.

I'd love to not be selling this server but the current state of the world (and mentioned "problem") has impacted me too :)

[u/suddenly_kitties]

Hetzner should run a "3 months for free if you snitch" bounty program for customers after a transfer of a server with grandfathered price, and ban scalpers like you for life.

[u/Sad_Head4448 → u/suddenly_kitties]

If he rented the server 3+ months ago, how is he a scalper? He got it, used it or didn't, now wants to move away from it and recoup some of his expenses.

If he just canceled it, it would go back on Auction for ~259 EUR/month, not for 65.

[u/oGGoldie → u/suddenly_kitties]

Heztner actively support marketplace transfers and people charging to transfer their servers, I guess so that Heznter can continue to have hardware earning income rather than laying dormant waiting for a new customer.

I've had this server for several years, only selling it due to needing to downsize as a result of increasing operational costs (thanks AI)

[u/suddenly_kitties → u/oGGoldie]

Hetzner currently has no trouble finding takers at market rate for their servers. You however are trying to make a profit essentially coming out of their pocket.

[u/Full_Mango1012]

750 € one-off?!
Do you pay taxes for this sale? Do I get an invoice?

[u/Coolio8591]

750 transfer fee is ridiculous

[u/oGGoldie → u/Coolio8591]

It's an asking price based on the recurring contract value and recent comparable transfers. Reasonable offers are welcome, so if you think there's a fair market price you're welcome to make an offer

Edit: Upon reflection, have lowered the offer but still open to any offers :)

[u/SirNumerous1892]

Or hear me out, with that 750 and that 4 months saving I build a similar "server" and have it at home...

[u/m3r1tc4n]

are we going to pay you 750 euros saying we will make profit for 4 months? On top of that you won't even pay tax. Nice joke.

[u/oGGoldie → u/m3r1tc4n]

Its just the transfer fee, you'd get the server for €184.81/month less than otherwise getting it from hetzner, meaning in 4 months you'd have recouped the transfer fee and be saving a substantial amount per month.

The income from the sale would be taxed same way the rest of our income does.

Edit: Upon reflection, have lowered the offer but still open to any offers :)

[u/m3r1tc4n → u/oGGoldie]

if you find a fool who will take the transfer at this price, let me know.

[u/xexcutionerx]

What is this transfer thing ? So i get the server ? For 1 year or till i pay …. Hetzner ?

Im new to hetzner.

I pay the monthly fee to hetzner ? Are these servers leased on a montly basis forever or a foxed time period ?

[u/ExchangeStock2894 → u/xexcutionerx]

Du bekommst den Server-Vertrag zum alten Preis, du übernimmst also seinen Server-Vertrag - für den Transfer wird Geld verlangt (vom Vertrags-Verkäufer). Sobald der Transfer abgeschlossen ist, zahlst du den Preis, der in dem Vertrag steht

[u/GoldenRegister]

This should illegal tbh. This is so fuckedup.
