TiMacLover Senior Member USA 1282 Posts	Posted - 01 Jun 2002 : 01:04:08 Agreed, well I am heading to bed now I would like to get some information down, who is all with us I know me, Captain, trash, cine, but who else? What about the uhaul thing I need to find the gas thing and prices unless someone can for me, and how much will each pay for that and will paypal be ok to send me the money?

Da Penguin Senior Member USA 1094 Posts	Posted - 01 Jun 2002 : 05:00:14 I'm in too TiMac, Put me down for a minimum of $25, probably more if this auction goes higher. - I want dibs on one or two 6500's since the other towers are taken -would also like lots of cables and peripheral shtuff -ooOOoo 168 pin RAM too if there is any Thats all I can claim from pictures, but thought id state intrest. BTW TiMac, I know this is going to through our PM trade off on both ends due to lack of shipping money. I'm not going to sell it anywhere else unless we get this auction, if we get the auction its getting sold and money is going into this "group" purchase. Sound good? ~The Penguin \|Captain, Intelligence Operations\| There is only one path and that is the path that you take, but you can take more than one path. 68k.torpedobird.com <-- Hotline Server
AnubisTTP Junior Member USA 308 Posts	Posted - 01 Jun 2002 : 06:19:02 I am in for 25 dollars for a G3 tower. Also if there is any of the plastic bits or bezels for the tower enclosure I would like some to finsh off the tower. For the rest of my share (if there is any left over). just throw in some cables and parts that are left over after everyone else has picked.

Captain Z Mobile Ops Commander USA 637 Posts	Posted - 01 Jun 2002 : 10:36:06 I guess now would be a good time to recap who is in and who wants what of the major hardware. I will not include requested parts that are abundent (like SCSI cables): (for the sake of simplicity, I will call the Power Mac 6400 towers by thier codename, Instatower. I will call the 9600 style case, Kansas, after it's architecture. I will call the 7200 style case after it's prototype name, Outrigger) TiMacLover - 1 Kansas Tower - 1 Instatower - the Profile HD - PM6100 G3 Upgrade Cinemafia - 1 Kansas Tower - the wierd speakers - the SC20 HD Trash80toG-4 - no specific parts, but did call DIBS on the entire thing... Captain Z - PowerExpress logicboard - matching Processor Daughter card - 1 (or 2) Outrigger Cases (there is too high demand for the other towers) Da Penguin - 1 (or 2) Instatowers AnubisTTP - 1 Kansas Tower Under this current 6-way division, this is what is remaining. - no Kansas Towers remaining - no Instatowers remaining - 2 (or 1) Outrigger Cases remaining - 1 Power Mac 6100 - 1 Performa 6x00 - the Paladin Keyboard? (I would guess Trash80 wants this) Also, splitting it 6-ways at the current price ($100), it will cost each person $18.33. If we each send TiMac $25, it should cover about $30 worth of TiMac's trasnportation costs. Then all we have to do is send a enough for shipping later. ------------------ Captain Z - Sniper 68K Macintosh Liberation Army 18 68K Macs Liberated Visit Captain Z's Starbase of EV Stuff
TiMacLover Senior Member USA 1282 Posts	Posted - 01 Jun 2002 : 10:46:43 I would like since no way has said that face less Performa, Desktop case(s) depending on if anyone wants them, and the pizza box. But be sure when I get everything I will to the best of my knowledge explain everything that we got.

Captain Z Mobile Ops Commander USA 637 Posts	Posted - 01 Jun 2002 : 11:46:33 Houston, we have a problem... The people reading the MAF thread have decyphered some more. They have identified the Paladin Keyboard, and the PowerExpress logic board. In order to secure this auction to ourselves, we must act fast! ------------------ Captain Z - Sniper 68K Macintosh Liberation Army 18 68K Macs Liberated Visit Captain Z's Starbase of EV Stuff

Da Penguin Senior Member USA 1094 Posts	Posted - 01 Jun 2002 : 13:24:28 OK, so how are we getting the money together in time to pay this guy? Someone gonna front it and get refunded? Also, who is going to actually be placing the bids? Just some things i thought we should think aboot. Also, Is this goign to be spilt truely evenly, i mean some people are getting more than others. I mean if i only get one tower....a desktop would be nice too since there seem to be less ppl wanting those....specially if its a g3 case ~The Penguin \|Captain, Intelligence Operations\| There is only one path and that is the path that you take, but you can take more than one path. 68k.torpedobird.com <-- Hotline Server
TiMacLover Senior Member USA 1282 Posts	Posted - 01 Jun 2002 : 13:38:55 Well my PayPal is TiMacLover@mac.com, we are all putting in our money, so how much is that, I am not sure on teh gas or uhaul prices.

Captain Z Mobile Ops Commander USA 637 Posts	Posted - 01 Jun 2002 : 13:58:18 There are 12 systems and 6 of us. One would think that each person would get 2 systems each. Look it as this: There are a total of 7 towers and 5 desktops. Each person should be entitled to 1 tower and 1 desktop, and one person will get 2 towers. Right now TiMac wants a Kansas and an Instatower, and Da Penguin wants 2 Instatowers, For fairness, I propose the you give up one of them each, and choice a desktop system. I originally wanted one of the Kansas towers because of the PowerExpress logicboard (it's designed for that case). But if worst comes to worst, I can settle for an Instatower (IE: Kansas tower is not necessary; I'm planning a custom build in a PC ATX case). I still would like one of the Outriggers, though. ------------------ Captain Z - Sniper 68K Macintosh Liberation Army 18 68K Macs Liberated Visit Captain Z's Starbase of EV Stuff Edited by - Captain Z on 01 Jun 2002 14:08:41
Da Penguin Senior Member USA 1094 Posts	Posted - 01 Jun 2002 : 14:14:15 Thats what i meant to say anyhue captain. I didnt want 3 systems, oops for it comign accross that way. We also Do not know how many systems are complete and all taht shtuff, we maay end up ith 12 cases but only 6 systems, who knows. I still say we claim what we have intrest in now.

TiMacLover Senior Member USA 1282 Posts	Posted - 01 Jun 2002 : 14:16:08 What I want... - Performa 6400/6500 - Mini Tower - G3 6100 Upgrade - Some SCSI cables - A Apple External Hard drive - Some cards or whatever - One (if i can) desktop cases or macs whatever What I want if no one claims... - Faceless Performa - Pizza Box Jeremy "I'll see you on the Dark Side Of The Moon" - Pink Floyd Covert Ops 68k Hacks General Macs Liberated:18 ENTER THROUGH THE GATES
Trash80toG-4 NIGHT STALKER USA 2899 Posts	Posted - 01 Jun 2002 : 17:10:40 bleh! if you folks think we're gonna get this at that price level you're gonna be REALLY dissapointed, email time! is anybody else joining in? if not, somebody needs to act as a secretery and tally the individual offers and forward an updated summary to us all. start thinking a lot higher, i don't have the time to do the paperwork, i gotta do my own! i can write a mean business letter when forced to, but i don't think that'd work. IMHO, comments troops? volunteers? jt �. .
Da Penguin Senior Member USA 1094 Posts	Posted - 01 Jun 2002 : 18:29:07 Trash is right and I think we need to up the "projected" price. Aiming around *-*(Trash Bandit!) would probably save us alot of the trbl me thinks, this way if we have extra, we can always get it back. If we don't have enough, we may get nothing at all and just waste alot in transactions. That means PPP (price per person) is goign to need to be around 2 (tash again...)... I am in to raise it that much, anyone else able? and If someone can't, is there anyone who can put more in than that (and imho shall recieve a fair amoutn back out)? We need to be serious aboot this and pull this off. It will go down in history and will prove our strength as an army and ability. I have every intention of getting this stuff, and am not going down without a fight.

Trash80toG-4 NIGHT STALKER USA 2899 Posts	Posted - 01 Jun 2002 : 18:45:57 please do not discuss the high or middle end range of the bid in open forums!!!!! edit! discretion! think and then DON'T post, email! it might be a good idea for us to edit all mentions of dollar figures out of our posts. don't be offended, but it's well past the time to put on the poker faces as things seem to be develping. generalities MAY be fine in public. think LONG and HARD about claiming more than one item and seriously consider encouraging others to sign up privately for the boxen that are freed up or none of us will get ANY! think about it. i'm exhausted and cranky, i hope i haven't been harsh, but i think it's time to get serious. jt �. .

I ask because I do not have a Paypal account, so I will have to snail-mail a check for my percentage to whoever is placing the bid. i don't either, but immediately snail mailing a money order will be required as a minimum in order to save the out of state clearing time i would think. express mailing will almost certainly be required within a max of a day or two of the close if we're successful, a check mailed today might not clear in time considering the pickup time window. jt �. .

Graphite Goodness New Member USA 88 Posts	Posted - 02 Jun 2002 : 09:44:53 What makes me really mad is that a lot of you truly believe what timac is saying! The only thing that makes me mad about anything mac is prices of hardware and the sluggishness of aqua. Also I never stated that I was going to sell all the equipment. well besides the powerexpress mobo and the paladin keyboard. Some of the hardware is going to my local friends too. one of them wants a biege g3 for ev:nova and the other wants a server and I have no problem giving timac a 6400 as a blood truce. Also if anyone here can pay shipping and a few bucks for compensation i'll be glad to send parts off.
Graphite Goodness New Member USA 88 Posts	Posted - 02 Jun 2002 : 09:47:32 Also all my email told him was that I lived nearby and that i'd offer him $200. If you guys want to excommunicate me thats fine. I don't post here to often anyway.
Wonkothesane Full Member USA 506 Posts	Posted - 02 Jun 2002 : 09:48:50 I think I'll put in for the 6100 or the 6x00 (is it the 6360 or the 6400?). I can contribute as much as $15-20, maybe more.

thelip Full Member USA 729 Posts	Posted - 02 Jun 2002 : 11:12:09 Hey, if you're still needing money, i can help out, but i don't get paid til friday the 7th. All that i would want is a working tower (is there a beige left?), and a bunch of scsi cables. i'd go probably up to 25-30 dollars. email me, if this could work. i'm in kansas, and i wasn't too interested in sending a machine this far, but it might be worth it. p.s. Scraped together 20 bucks. This means that i can't take any ladies out this week. I guess, it's worth it. Sgt.

Cap Z- thanks for that gift . Lip- No towers are left, only machine still available is one 7200-style, email me for details. Also gang, Since TiMac looks like he is in bad shape and no one else has paypal, I think it may be proper for me to take over the Official paying. I have a Paypal account with.....$1000+ spending! (unfortuneately its my dads...)This would enable me to bid on the item and have the snail mail checks arrive afterwards. Either post back or email me gang!
