The two bay 11/45 went for twice the bid, since it was
listed as 2 pcs
@ 1500 each
Yeah, I couldn't quite work that out - did it mean there were two mostly
identical ones, and they only had pictures of one, or did it mean 'two racks'?

It means (as far as I can tell) "two items" where the items in this case
are the two racks. You're buying the lot, but bidding on the cost of a
single item. The TI 980B I got
(https://grafeauction.proxibid.com/asp/LotDetail.asp?lid=32464722) was
sold as three items (the rack, the printer on the small rack, and some
weird readout on a rolling pedstal). No, it doesn't make an incredible
amount of sense for some of this...

I mentioned to someone else that that 747-400 simulator is, umm, "famous",
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zacarias_Moussaoui
"Moussaoui allegedly received US$14,000 in wire transfers from bin al-Shibh,
originating fromD?sseldorf?and?Hamburg,?Germany, in early August. This money could have
helped him pay for flight training about two weeks later at Pan-Am International Flight
Academy in?Eagan, Minnesota. On August 13, Moussaoui paid US$6,800 with US$100 bills to
receive training in a?747-400simulator. The simulator that?Pan-Am?uses is operated by
Northwest Aerospace Training Corporation (NATCO), a training facility affiliated
with?Northwest Airlines.?"

Considering how many cabinets full of computer equipment were labelled
"avionics rack", it's clear the auctioneers had no clue what most of
this stuff was.

Well, I have to confess that I won both those auctions.
I thought originally when I was bidding that it was two identical
systems (of two racks each) but now I think it just meant the two racks
pictured. So I got half of what I was expecting for my bid.
Not to mention I really shouldn't have been bidding at all in the first
place. It was just too tempting to pass up.
