As of January 2009, we removed most of the information at the work and employment page. Our information was outdated and as we talked with several people in the industry, it became clear that there are many people looking for work and there are a couple people who are finding work. At this moment, we have no knowledge of any particular opening. We have some general ideas and thoughts. If you'd like to talk, please call us.

The same is true with this page. We know of several systems that are for sale and a couple that are being purchased. Transactions move so quickly, we hardly get the chance to make a couple phone calls and then the situations has changed. At times, we manage to get buyers and sellers together. In other situations, systems just end up in a basement, at someone's home or at the scrape yard. Sometimes, things resolve themselves.

We'll post some more information when we get to it. Until then, we'd like to hear from you.

RenaiSys is mainly an independent service organization. We encourage buyers and sellers to negotiate the terms. If RenaiSys provides the relocation service, we may obtain any product and forward it at the same cost and under the same condition as we obtained it as a service to the parties.

As the seller, your organization earns the full profit. Your negotiated price is what you get, without having to pay any fees to a dealer.

As the buyer, your organization gets the best deal. You can directly asked the last user about the configuration and condition of the system. If RenaiSys provides the relocation service, we could provide any repair, upgrade, or extended warranty service as well.
