Four Syquest 44MB cartridges
| 
Jul 12 05:49 UTC 1996 |
Donated by Steve Sarrica via Rob Argy (ajax):
Four Syquest 44MB cartridges. (Three are Syquest brand, one is
Cutting Edge brand). Untested but presumed working, no idea if
anything is on them. Bid on them separately; if you want more
than one, specify how many you're bidding on at a given price.

It might be a good idea of the auctioneers to keep the bidding on this item
open until after the tape drive in item 64 has been sold.

popcorn got the tape drive, so her bid of $1 will become final,
um, soonish. >8)

Oops. I failed to read the part of #0 that said you should bid separately
on the four cartridges. My bid of $1 was for all four cartridges. I'm
reopening bidding for a week, in case anybody wants to outbid me.
That was the most fair way of handling this that I could think of.

The fairest thing *I* can think of is for you to pay $4 for all four
cartridges.

Hm...there was no minimum bid; I think if Valerie intended her bid to
be $1 for all four, and nobody else topped that since her Sept 6
statement to that effect, that 25 cents per cart is more sensible.
Robh is the uninvolved auctioneer...ruling? :-)

I can't help but think that #15 is a sneaky attempt to get me to pay Grex
another $3 for these cartridges that I'm *very* unlikely to be able to use
anyway (but I've got the cartridge drive that goes with them, so I'd expect
them to be even less useful to Mark). Also, I question the validity of
response #15, because I reopened bidding on these cartridges for a week on
September 6, so bidding should have been closed again by the time Mark entered
response #15.
I have no idea whether this means Mark's bid is valid or invalid. I'm
inclined to say that it's not valid, because so much time had gone by.
But I'll defer to Rob's judgement on this, as he's the auctioneer who isn't
involved in this. (Mark, you could simplify this a lot by rescinding your
bid.)

Heh. And you could simplify it a lot by bidding $4. No, mine was a
serious bid, and I won't rescind it.
According to this month's Egghead catalog, 3 100 meg zip disks sell for $50.
At that rate, 4 44 meg disks would go for about $29. (Yes, I realize that
they are not compatible items, but they are comparable media.) So $4 seems
like a more than reasonable price to me, and I'd like to see Grex get at
least that much.
P.S. #15 was not "sneaky". It had all the subtlety of a Bob Dole commercial.

New 44MB Syquest carts sell for about $40 each. I view that as
irrelevent to the current bidding, however. I still think the Sept.
6 bid should be final, but RobH previously declined to decide the
issue. Is bidding closed after 7 days, or only after an auctioneer
declares it closed?

I think that's something else we haven't decided yet. >8)
I'd say popcorn is welcome to up the bid if she wants.

Oh, forget it. I'll pay $3, Valerie can pay $1, and she can have the discs.
Rob H., please freeze this item before anyone else gets hurt.

Wait... I don't feel comfortable having Mark pay $3 for disks for me.

Re 19: The other time this question came up, if I remember right, we decided
in favor of letting bidding continue, since it brought in more money for Grex.
I'm not sure if that's relevant here.
