    It's hard finding auction information there, it does say each organization has different auction rules, but offers no way to see or to find auction rules for springfield school district, I suppose you'd have to contact gov deals to locate it.

    Most gov auctions I've seen rules to, have an "inactivity period" of 10-20 minutes. If any bids are placed during the last, say, 15 minutes(whatever the individual auction rules may be), the closing time is extended by 15 minutes, until such time as no further bids are placed for 15 minutes. Only then will the auction close.

    That is very important information with gov auctions, and I'd begin my bidding one minute before the inactivity period started

    It also has 139? "hard drives" in the list, I didn't feel like waiting for all the pictures to load, so really couldn't see if it was actually hard drives or not. I've seen numerous instances where towers or desktop computers were refered to as "CPUs" or "hard drives"

    I'll guess the winning bid on this one could be rather interesting

    most of them include a phone # I call them and usually get good info from the on site guy, tho some are a holes. Its the foreign and idiots that have driven the prices for e scrap beyond belief.

    I cant see where a scrapper wouldn't lose big on 99% of them
