Do not get involved in government liquidation at all if you are not prepared to lose the entire value of a lot. Now that I spent some time actually putting power to some of the unharmed machines on the pallets that were undisturbed...I must have tried thirty machines before I found one that had memory in it (they had a manifest down to the serial number, showing things like model, processor, memory amount, POST test). All day I worked today. I must of found ten machines on an entire pallet (at least 45 machines) with memory of any kind in them. Some did not even have a processor and the heatsink left loose had done damage to the board. I stopped, after I took about 200 pictures and emailed them all off in groups (ten for each pallet) of the problems and missing parts. Unacceptable, it never used to be like this, years ago most anything you got from GL was GREAT, exactly as advertised. Now I am finding stock photos, commentary to explain the lot as "may not be as pictured" and then it does not specifiy a date or time or even a contact for viewing the lot. Couple years ago I could get a worker to facetime with me to show me the lot, or skype...
This is the second time I've had problems with GL in the last couple months. I am wondering if this is just me or if anyone else is having issues with this kind of thing.
