[vcf-midatlantic] Questions re: consignment

[W2HX]

Questions on consignment!

  1.  How close can we drive up to the consignment to drop things off? Or must we carry them from parking lot A?
  2.  Is there a way to indicate to the consignment staff that an item has been reserved for a certain person? My interest is in getting VCF money (by going through consignment system). But holding the item for a specific person?

Subject: Re: [vcf-midatlantic] Items available on consignment

I have created an unofficial Google Sheet for
Want to Buy<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EtpL3kUqcmqudksffe4GQCjuBuSE2JM0KykNZQhtRbA/edit?usp=sharing>
Selling at VCF East Consignment<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_j1JkMsgS6vMpPXdSfhKXDulW4c2E_XWmmqpkin3HQk/edit?usp=sharing>

Keep in mind this is unofficial and won't be supported at consignment itself.
For example, if someone comes to us at consignment during the show and says "hey the google sheet said this item would be x$ but it's priced $y!" then we will explain that it isn't an official part of the consignment system and we are not responsible for any of the content that appears therein.

Hi all, since we can't see other people's consignment items using the new system, I thought I'd post this here. The following are available for consignment at the VCF event. Maybe someone wants to start a google sheets on this stuff?

Heathkit H14 Printer $20
This printer kinda works. There seems to be some problem with the temperature sensor or most likely the comparator circuit for the temp sensor. It works when the sensor is not reporting an issue (fiddly). Also note a small part is missing on the right-hand tractor feed but seems ok anyway. SOLD AS IS. See video here:

Decwriter IV / Letterprinter LA-100 $50
Self-test works, foam makes dust. Comes with two different tractor feed attachments. See this video:

SOLD AS IS.

100% of proceeds for these items will go to VCF!
