By the way: Before you junk the 150, see if you can offer it to the community. I
wouldn't mind having a spare.

I seem to be bound by red-tape. It will be surplused. I think it
will go up for sale at auction in the Research Triangle Park (RTP) in
NC. It will be on a palette with a bunch of PCs most likely, but
there should be an itemized list of the contents of the pallet.

I am trying to figure out where the auctions are held and how to get
announcements in advance of the pallet inventories.

Some of the guys I work with have gone to the auctions in the past but
the system and location may have changed since then.

They said that a pallet might sell for $10. Even if it bids up too
high, you can just go to the buyer of the pallet and offer to buy the
AXP 150.

I may just go buy the thing and make it available to the community if
I can figure out how to do it.

It will most likely come without the PAKs, I don't know of a way to
sell them and we might be able to use them on another system.

I am planning to delete everything on the disks before I surplus it,
but I am not sure what I am legally obligated to do. Anyway, if you
have the CDs you should be able to load another OS.

Are you located near the RTP?

The auctions are announced at:

www.gsaauctions.gov

I would assume it will be in North Carolina some time in the near
future.

I deleted all the licenses but left on the operating system so people
could confirmed it worked at the auction inspection if they cared to
do so and had the minimal possible password guessing skills :).- Hide quoted text -

They picked up the APX150 this week, so I guess it could appear on the
auction site soon:

www.gsaauctions.gov

It in North Carolina, Durham or RTP area.

Is there any money to be recycling old CRT monitors? They sure have a LOT of
'em!
