Perhaps a bit off topic, but I'm always puzzled by postings of "I want $$$$ for this list of big items. Must be picked up in 12 hours or I'm throwing it in the dumpster" Aren't those kind of conflicting requirements? -J
Yes. My friend went thru 4 months of communications hell with some guy over some Amiga 4000Ts. Finally the guy puts them both on ebay and craigslist, with a must-be-picked-up-in-2-days kind of thing. Bids were coming in from New Zealand and stuff. Matt finally got the guy to talk on the phone and we bought the lot from him. Which was mismatched from the description since there were books and disks to expensive upgrades that weren't in the systems (PPC accelerator.) Still came out okay but wasn't as juicy of a deal as first thought but still cool. Friend ended up driving up 5 hours Friday night, then we bought the machines Saturday morning bright and early, then he drove home to Norfolk area and picked up a 26' penske truck early the next morning. Filled it full of arcades and vintage computers then drove to MAGFest late that eve. Compressed schedule from random deal.
