I missed this state auction. If I would have won 30 of us could have gotten an iMac for $70.00!!!

If anyone ever wants to buy a lot of stuff with me at one of these auctions let me know. Here is the list of auction going on now.

But they don't tell us what's wrong with those iMacs that 30 of them cost less than usually one will for brand new (full ooptions 17" flat panel with software of course)

It's a state surplus auction so I'm sure they where all bondi iMacs. Most of the time all the computers work at these auctions. Still, for $2111 if you sold all 30 for $150 you would have doubled your money.

Lots of Pee Cees. The only thing in there Mac I saw was an Apple One Scanner.

Lots of nice air compressors, though.

Would have been intersting assuming you could transport and store the units before you sell them 1 at a time. Also you would need to test each one since untested units sell for alot less.

Its an EBAY's wet dream I guess

I would have kept them!

do you know how COOL! that would be to have them all networked and NetBooting OSX or 9 and/or using Macintosh Manager to have the login thing with OS9...

Just the thought of 30 of them within my proximity gives me wet dreams! (sometimes)
