Re: tip for all the US based people - $500 7 x AS400 Model 2130 Server f/s at egghead

FYI,

The auction closed at 4:11pm est instead of 3:15pm est.  Closing price was
$1,451.00.  There was a guy name RG from Atlanta who exploded the price
because he was trying to get all 7 systems.  It was a bidding war between
him and MW of Brooklyn.  Imagine an auction that start at $1.00 with bid
increment of $10.00 and ended at about $1500.  There were a lot of
participant at the begining but they all fell out at about $700 and I
dropped out at $1331.
