I don't quite understand what you're saying. The front desk person gave me an email address originally, which I emailed this morning...but I haven't heard back. Are you saying you found a particular path to successful discounted booking? I just called again, and first reached reservations, who immediately transferred me to the front desk, saying they're the only ones who know about group booking discounts. The front person (may have been the same one as this morning, maybe not) then said he knew nothing about this, and I that had to email his manager. He then spelled out the same address as I'd been given this morning, except he read a digit as an O instead of a zero. Soooo....I re-sent my email to the O version. But it's Friday after 5pm, hard to guess where this is going to go, if anywhere... - Ken >On Fri, Mar 29, 2024 at 11:25 AM Ken via vcf-midatlantic ><vcf-midatlantic(a)lists.vcfed.org> wrote: >> >> Has anyone had luck with this?

Has anyone had luck with this? When I called the number, I reached the front desk, and the front desk guy didn't know anything about our discount, and directed me to email his manager for further instructions. I'm waiting to hear back to that email (not super optimistically), but I'm curious if others encountered this and actually reached success in some way!

Kennett Classic Surplus Pickup and VCFEast
by Bill Degnan 27 Mar '24

27 Mar '24

If you intend to come to Kennett Classic to pick up items because you'll be relatively close for the Vintage Computer Festival weejebd (KC is 2 hours south west of VCF east), please let me know asap so I can set the coverage schedule for that weekend. I am thinking possibly of being open that Friday night, but I need to get a feel for what would work for all parties involved. Items purchased must be picked up before 4/19. Questions? https://kennettclassic.com/contact.cfm Thanks Bill
