Same guy posted to the VCF Forum about this. He wont ebay, craigslist is
full of "scummy people" and "advertising costs money" so in other
words he
will pay to junk it. Could be wrong but somewhere in there he stated it was
purchased for $4500 or something? Why do people blow that kind of money
without a plan to profit? Sure there are some units in there worth selling,
but that is if they are complete, cleaned up, and working otherwise they
will go for nothing to somebody looking for parts or a project.

Subject: Re: HUGE old computer lot, maybe some gems
I'm reminded of a quote which talks about a
millstone around some ones
neck. I feel sorry for the guy.

I LOL'd at most of the comments. I'd be
interested in hearing how he makes
out with the sale. Hopefully he finds the one or two gems in the pile and
covers his costs. I bought a pallet of DEC monitors at auction many years
back, and while loading it onto my truck found a NeXT monitor in the pile.
Somebody gave me $100 for it which (almost) paid disposal charges for the
remaining monitors (which went away a few months back.)
