Hi all, I went to Kemner's Surplus Warehouse yesterday and picked up miscellaneous parts I wanted, and I suggest anyone in the area do the same for what they want. There are signs in the store that indicate they have been evicted. I don't know any more about their situation or their timeframe for clearing out the store. I saw a bunch of Apple II series machines, some Vic 20s, C64s, and TRS80s. There are lots of electronics parts, vintage test equipment, and media. Here is a message Beverly sent me: "Sure if you tell a computer Club about our store that would be great I keep swearing that there's got to be museums out there that would like some of the stuff we have even stuff that doesn't work you would think of Museum either them or people that are part of it would fix it and want it on display we've got to have some stuff that they may not have that they would still want the important thing is for them to understand that the prices on them are not what we're selling it for but we're also not able to be completely low-balled because we still need money we were talking today about how there's people that are probably not coming now because they think the day's going to come when everything in the store is like 90% off. And unfortunately we're not a regular store and I don't believe he's going to do that. So the thing is they need to just bargain with him and if he likes the price he will accept it . Or if that item he can go 50 off then he'll do that. If he can't or won't then he'll give you 30% off Etc. It probably will stay that way until we're out. Sometimes some things may go up to 75 some things you may only ever get up to 50% off. What the main idea is that you may not be able to get them after we're closed. we're not sure about that , so Now's the Time to really see and get what you want" So I would suggest that someone at the museum contact Beverly (Facebook seems to be the best way: https://www.facebook.com/KemnerEnterprises/ or https://www.facebook.com/bkemner ) and discuss what is possible and find out more about their situation with the contents of the store and their warehouses. Perhaps a win/win situation can be found where some of their inventory is offered for sale at consignment at the VCF events around the country, or we repair some of their computers during upcoming workshops for use in a training lab - it's going to take some tact to negotiate so all communications should be done through Evan and the other VCF chapter leaders. We can discuss more at next week's workshop. Thanks, Eric
