First auction am I in the ballpark?

Well jumping into the online auction pool...there is a lot of 50- hp dc5000 CPUs, 10 hp 1320 laserjet printers, and 20 compaq monitors. The dc5000 look like the 3.5 floppy drive is gone. I am figuring my bid like this - 50 CPUs x $5.00 each= $250, 10 printers x $2.00 each= $20, 20 monitors x $2.00 each= $40. Total bid of $310.00 I based this on parts missing from cpu's and no power cords on anything from what I can see in posting. I sent them a question about items but have to wait till tomorrow for answer. I haven't hit my price yet bu just wanted some feedback on if it is to low or is it in ballpark.

Does forget to figure fees and taxes if they apply.

I think your high as there is not a lot of value in printers and monitors, those are usually free-bee's to me or I don't haul them. But these auctions are crazy anymore.

$2 on printers seem high to me.

mechanic- i have same philosophy when it comes to monitors and tvs, trying to get a figure on what might take it down.
bear- its a dot.com....govdeals.com...looks like local govs putting their stuff up thru this site...any info on them? No, i cant get there to see it but I am able to post questions about the lot. Just waiting for an answer.
Like I said, first time getting involved in an auction and want to set myself a ceiling price but wont go beyond that # no matter how much I might want it.

Bear- i had the same thought when i saw a 5% add on to winning bid. thats how they make their $ i guess. also looking at the dot.govs too. Thanks for the replys.
Dune-I figured with the copper recovery i could make a small profit on the monitors and on the printers if they have toner in them they can be taken out and sold. I think someone posted about a company that buys the empty toner cartridges. Even if I dont win it I will get an idea of how far off I will be. Like Mechanic said these auctions are sometimes whacked out on what people are paying. Thanks for the input.

dune & Bear-I see you are a night owls too like me. Between family during the day and work at night I cant believe I have time to scrap. Thank the Lord for 5 Hr energy...lol

Bear- nyc does things on a sealed mail in bidding system, dont trust them anyway, I work for the city and I know there is a lot of under the table non-sense that its not even worth it to get involved, but i will check out the fed auctions...thanks

Yup me too wish I was doing this 10 years ago.

Amazing how peoples attitudes change when they realize they can make $$$ from it.

Well stuck to my price and got outbid. Kinda sucks but I know I did right thing by not going over my limit. Auction still going can't wait to see what final bid is. Jumped right in two others that end soon. Hopefully it goes better. Thanks for everyone's input.
