[sudo-discuss] URGENT: all hands on deck for biosafety

[Matthew Harbowy]

Unfortunately, I was not able to close a deal, and they are going back for
auction. However, they have agreed to a follow up pre auction sale, "name
your price", on two of the unsold lots: 441 and 805. I have tried in the
past to buy these and others like it for less than $1500 and was
unsuccessful. If you can pick either of these up next week, I am sure they
will be willing to get you a deal. You need to call 858-550-0800 x222 and
they are located (currently) in Hayward, though they will be moved to South
San Francisco shortly. Ask for the specific lot number.

Lot 441:
http://auctions.biosurplus.com/view-auctions/catalog/id/126/lot/17381/?url=%2Fview-auctions%2Fcatalog%2Fid%2F126%2F%3Fpage%3D14

Lot 805:
http://auctions.biosurplus.com/view-auctions/catalog/id/126/lot/17443/?url=%2Fview-auctions%2Fcatalog%2Fid%2F126%2F%3Fpage%3D25

If anyone wants help with acquiring these, let me know, but I have been
unsuccessful in purchase. Which seems insane, because they will spend
almost as much moving and reconditioning them as they will make selling
them. Perhaps you will get luckier making a deal.

best regards,
