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.
Did he pay $4500 for the whole lot, and is now trying to figure out what
to do with it, or did he spend that over a period of months or years. Is
he some collector that got in over their head, or did he buy it hoping to
make a profit? In what I read a lot of details were left out. I noticed
basically everything is palletized, so I was wondering how on earth he
came to be saddled with the mess.
