ACCRC Sealed Bid Auction for Vintage Computers

The Alameda County Computer Resource Center (ACCRC) is forced to liquidate its computer museum due to the current economic climate. The VCF has been contracted to auction off the ACCRC museum to raise needed funds for their non-profit operation. I have put up the first batch of machines at the following URL: http://www.vintage.org/special/2008/accrc/ In order to use the system you must have a VCF Community ID. Getting one is simple: just following the links and prompts when you visit the site above and read the instructions. I have been cataloging the hundreds of items in the ACCRC museum and will be putting up auction lots weekly until the collection is dissipated. There are still many items to go (with lots of duplicates) so check back every week to see the latest batch. All items are offered as-is. Functional condition is unknown unless specified in the item description. For more information about a particular item, please contact the VCF and your inquiry will be answered as soon as possible. Winning bidders will be notified at the close of the auction (see below for closing time). In the event of a tie bid, the winning bid will be the one submitted the earliest. Upon receiving a winning bid notification, payment and pick-up at the ACCRC facilities in Berkeley, California, is preferred. Payment from winning bidders is due within 72 hours after the close of the auction. Non-payment will invalidate your high bid and the item will automatically go to the next highest bidder (no exceptions). Upon request, items will be packaged and shipped at bidder's expense plus a $25 handling fee. Payment in the form of cash, money order, or PayPal (in that order) is preferred. Personal checks will be accepted on the condition that they first clear the bank. All items must be sold. No reasonable offer will be refused. Your purchases will go towards supporting an organization that over the years has provided nearly 20,000 refurbished computers to needy organizations and individuals worldwide. 100% of the proceeds of this auction will go directly to the ACCRC (minus the handling fees, which are covering my time...barely). Please contact me DIRECTLY with any questions you might have of any of the items. I'll be happy to get more notes and photos on particulars items of interest from inquiring bidders. http://www.vintage.org/special/2008/accrc/ -- Sellam Ismail Vintage Computer Festival ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ International Man of Intrigue and Danger http://www.vintage.org [ Old computing resources for business || Buy/Sell/Trade Vintage Computers ] [ and academia at www.VintageTech.com || at http://marketplace.vintage.org ]
