What am i missing?

Looking over some auction sites and see one listing for 700 pc's. Clearly states that these are missing hard drives and possibly other components. Total weight of load around 25k lbs. Technology looks to be a few years old from the pictures of the cases. Current high bidder is over $11,000. Seriously? My only guess is that some computer shop thinks they can get these working and sell as used, but still...thats over 700 units and the used computer market cant be that big right now. I guess i'm missing something here.....

Yes those on line auctions go for way to much plus you have to have a way to pick them up or have them shipped. I stay away from them unless I could get them real cheap ,like 2.00 or 3.00.

I'm figuring all these people that overpay learn a lesson and wont bid on the next one Hoping that they all figure it out soon so i can get some of these cheap...but i'm afraid thats a pipe dream.

Or it could be shill bidding and someone on the inside will get the deal backdoor.

I have noticed the same thing. I live in the Tampa bay area (florida) and the large lots of towers go foe way too much money and this is one of the largest shipping ports on the east coast other than Miami and jacksonvile.
