    I'm 90 minutes away from there. Even with the $49 processing fee I might go for it. Thanks for the link Idaho!

    Just went for $299 plus the $49 processing fee. $5.61 per tower is a little much for me.

    Well, whoever got them paid $5.61 each.

    Was browsing for computer lots and came across it. Rather unfortunate I have yet to come across anything local.

    My transport costs would've added about $3.25 per tower. Did I screw up by not taking it?

    Personally if I was that close I would have tried alot harder to get it...........Sometimes I pay a little more just to keep plenty of product around..........I like to have plenty of computers on hand

    I didn't see that until it was 9 minutes to closing, on my connection that can sometimes be a single page load ; ), and really didn't have time to study into it, or see much more than the main photo, and glance over the listing, but still, I expected it would go a lot higher than it did. That might be a good auction site to watch for awhile ; )

    That's a great price for 62 computers plus there was a server in there. Lot like that around here has been going for over $900 plus. Lots of buyers around my area that refurbish and resell. Not to high jack the thread but just won auction for 5 dell poweredge servers,3 ups, and two okidata printers for $46.

    What he currently has for sale is boats? I tried to check his previous sales, but they are all private. Anyone think it is odd to go from boats to a pallet of PC's? Maybe I am too cynical, it just doesn't seem to click.

    A little Deeper Research will show that He sells DONATED Items
    Ex. Read the Description VERY Closely '83 26' Sea Ray Sundancer 260 260HP Mercruiser V8 Alpha EZLoader Tandem Axle Trl in Powerboats & Motorboats | eBay Motors

    His Toolhaus Review shows a LOT of Unhappy Buyers
    Negative/Neutral Feedback received by jws8s4s

    Here is where His " Stuff " is coming from .

    I would be very carefull buying pallets of computers unless you can look at then yourself. Could be missing alot of parts and could have low grade mobos.
