Re: [DIYbio] Illumina HiSeq 2000 obsolescence / salvage market : worth it?

Sequencers remind me of printers.  It's not the printer that gets you its the $1,000 a run cartridges and enzyme packs.  

But very cool if you can make sequencers DIY friendly!

I've been seeing Illumina HiSeq 2000s (their $10,000 genome machine from 2010) start flooding the salvage markets for pretty cheap ($hundreds on the local markets or $thousands on ebay and etc)

Turns out it is because Illumina stopped supporting them in February

Has anyone out there ever used them? Is there any reason to get them working v investing in minIONs and etc?

Thanks
