cyberwolf New Member 91 Posts	Posted - 03 Jun 2002 : 10:52:14 I figure if you dont mind nobody else probably will. (Ill be paypalling my money if thats ok by the way) How are we going to do shipping? Have whoevers picking all this stuff up tell us how much and just add that on to the total? My only other question is how the heck are we going to dived up the giant mess of cables and other misc. stuff? Just wondering really since I have most all the old cables I could ever need.
Captain Z Mobile Ops Commander USA 637 Posts	Posted - 03 Jun 2002 : 11:36:49 Did anyone notice that the seller changed the auction? It is no longer $100, but now $1 with an unknown reserve price (I would guess either $100 or $200) ------------------ Captain Z - Mobile Operations Commander 68K Macintosh Liberation Army 18 68K Macs Liberated Visit Captain Z's Starbase of EV Stuff
NotEnufCash Starting Member Canada 26 Posts	Posted - 03 Jun 2002 : 11:37:11 Holy crap guys. This is exciting! I'd chip in but really... I'm broke Plus shipping stuff to Canada would be a pain. When I first read that auction page I thought his first bid was $100 (Since cine said something about a $100 "entrance fee") but it's only a dollar!!!! I wonder what his reserve is...

Captain Z Mobile Ops Commander USA 637 Posts	Posted - 03 Jun 2002 : 11:49:45 Here are my theories about why the seller did this: Theory 1) He saw that no-one was buying in on this at $100. In an effort to see if he can stir up some people into buying, he dropped the starting price to $1, and left a reserve price there so that it doesn't sell too low. Theory 2) A day or 2 ago, Graphite Goodness e-mailed him proposing $200 straight up for the lot. The seller might feel obligated to keep the auction up, so he dropped the starting price to get people to buy it, but put a reserve price in at $200, so that if it doesn't make it to $200, he will sell to Graphite. ------------------ Captain Z - Mobile Operations Commander 68K Macintosh Liberation Army 18 68K Macs Liberated Visit Captain Z's Starbase of EV Stuff Edited by - Captain Z on 03 Jun 2002 11:50:24

Da Penguin Senior Member USA 1094 Posts	Posted - 03 Jun 2002 : 12:09:17 Ok, so shall we put a bid down so he cant shut down the auction completely? EMAIL ME! no open "facts" of what we are going to do. Suggestions, go right ahead. Also, if as many ppl as possible can get on AIM when the finaly bid is down, i can talk better and communicate our wishes.

Captain Z Mobile Ops Commander USA 637 Posts	Posted - 03 Jun 2002 : 13:54:00 I'm not 100% on this, but if there is a bidder that had bet the reserve price and the auction has ended, the seller is required to sell to the highest bidder. If he wanted to pull out, he would have to do it before the auction closes. ------------------ Captain Z - Mobile Operations Commander 68K Macintosh Liberation Army 18 68K Macs Liberated Visit Captain Z's Starbase of EV Stuff

cyberwolf New Member 91 Posts	Posted - 03 Jun 2002 : 16:43:10 I actually registered here awhile back but mainly just lurk. :-) Im going to delete my la post the ..that should set it back a couple more posts. Anyway TiMac hope you can get back in the game...You realize that all your stuff here is a fair amoun better then the 5400 right? :-) Oh and that faceless mac is a 630 (or at least something in the exact same box. There was also a mobo in one of those picture that had a slide in mobo just like in the 630. Id say it was the worst computers Ive ever owned but I own 3 of LEM road apples...bought them all new too. shudder
cyberwolf New Member 91 Posts	Posted - 03 Jun 2002 : 16:47:28 we can drop it to 4th from last on page 2 if all three of us delete our last responses(tito trash and I)im game if you guys are...Although who really goes back a page anyway?

Da Penguin Senior Member USA 1094 Posts	Posted - 04 Jun 2002 : 04:34:47 Update----- Everyone who is either here, or interested, please be either on AIM(, or here in the forums hitting refresh like crazy! ) when it comes close to bidding (eg. hour before). With things this tense i wnat to try to get as much general concensus (sp?) as possible. It is goign to be difficult if we need just one more dollar....who that dollar will come from. So please, if you can, come in and join the fun . Also, it appears graphite is out of the game so no worries. He is getting desperate on LEM swap trying to get rid of a burner and his cube. Seems to me like he isnt goign to have very much cash...
