This was sort of a weird deal.

A while back I bid on a item in Govdeals. I was the high bidder, but was under their reserve price.

They called me Monday and asked me if I was still interested in it.

I guess as a seller they retrieved my number off of Govdeals.

I told them I was, but I was not willing to go higher on my bid.

He told me they had re-listed it and that it did not sell again and that I could have it for only the buyers premium that would have had to have been paid if it had sold for their reserve price. That amount was just under $50.00.

So, I just bought a Kardex Lektriever Series 80 for less than fifty bucks.

The model I bought is is 11 feet long, 8 feet high and 4 feet deep. It weighs 3800 pounds.

New in 2002 it was bought by the University for over $30.000

We are going to attempt to dismantle it and put it back together.









Looking up at the machine.
