They put up the item so that someone else would bid "fair market value" and then colluded with someone else to have the first bidder automatically outbid so that they wouldn't have to actually sell it?

I am not sure, what is going on, I have been watching closely for a long time. I put out some fresh bait, today to see how many are serious bidders. I truely do need to schedual extensive dental surgery next friday, if I am going to present a mutterings at VCFm2 in july. With that said, I will be sad to let it go at opening bid, but no good dead gooes unpunished, bid early bid often. I will be interested to see who if anyone bids .... In fact, as long as both the highbidder and the seller exchanges positive feedback, and the ebay fees are paid, epay is happy. It is an expensive way to place a hidden Reserve, but a fine way to evaluate the auction value of something you are not sure you want to sell. If the bidder and seller agree to void the auction, the seller is in their perfect right to offer it as a second chance auction to any other bidder or relist it as a buy-it-now at a fixed price. That drives up ebay's value a tiney bit because they get to collect listing and final-value-fees on the item for a second time. Ebay gets upset if the shill bid is retracted, after bumping price. But as long as final value fees are payed there is no one left to complain to or about. The other Bob On Thu, 25 May 2006 10:47:47 -0600, Richard wrote:

I am considering attending the VCF/Midwest in July as a vendor. One of the problems concerning this issue is what do I bring. I have a large selection of DEC and non-DEC equipment ranging from small books and print sets to large drives and cabinets, and I don't know what the level of interest is in this type of equipment. It has been suggested to me that I send this notice out and ask for your opinions and help. Among the items I can bring are PDP8, and PDPll unibus and qbus, documentation, boards, boxes, power supplies, and other options. Also, RKO5's, RLO2's, RX01, and RX02's, and parts. I have almost the entire VTl00 family selection, VT220's etc., and other monitors, parts, printers, and printer parts. I can ship these items almost anywhere, but If I know what you want, and you are going to be there, I'll bring it. I have several file cabinets full of documentation, including field service engineering drawings on the above mentioned equipment and also LCG. Also several hundred pieces of micro-fiche and a few hundred data books. (TI, Intel, Sig, GE. IR,etc. Several hundred various cassette tapes are also here, along with DEC media, some of which contains software. I have been in communication with several members, and must apologize if you have not heard back from me; I have been experiencing intermediate difficulties with AOL, and much of my mail has been lost. I have now switched to useddec at gmail.com, and hopefully this will solve my communication problems. Please feel free to contact me off-list should you have any comments. Thanks, Paul Anderson (217)586-5361

I'd be interested in unibus -11 cards of various types for my hopefully-running-some-day 11/45 :) Could use a spare set of cards for an RK05, spare heads, etc. Oh, I'd be interested in some good condition Dectape II cartridges, with or without software on them, for my 11/44.
