How can someone "lost" something big like Rear Projection TVs and Photocopier on the train?!
neil on 09/09/2010 - 23:00

Cool, always wanted to go to one of these. Has anyone been to these auctions?

i saw it on the news once, there are hundreds of umbrellas + hats
GreenGuava on 10/09/2010 - 21:36

I may go and see what all the fuss is about, though I'm afraid I might come home with a bundle of crap I won't use…!

For those who are interested, this is the full list of what will be going up for auction tomorrow. Definitely some strange items to bring on a train, let alone lose on a train!

What exactly are 15 faulty 30" LCD's doing on a train I dunno (I'm assuming they're together since they're the same brand and model…) I guess some people just want a free option to dump their faulty goods for free
- cwongtech on 11/09/2010 - 19:56
  
  Yeah, getting on a train at a station without barriers "losing" your faulty LCDs is definately a cheaper option..
- GreenGuava on 11/09/2010 - 20:32
  
  These are more likely to be old screens that were used for station notifications of upcoming train services, rather than being real 'lost' property.
  - Trance N Dance on 11/09/2010 - 20:37
    
    Probably, all the good stuff would probably have been nicked by the station staff already, or some scammer saying he/she "lost" something.

This item is most interesting
" WorkStation: Generic, P4, 3000MHz, 2048MB RAM, 1960GB HDD, Powers Up, 2 * 500GB SATA HDDs, 1 * 640GB SATA HDD, 1 * 320GB SATA HDD. , GST Included in Sale Price"
I think the person who buys it is gonna be after the HDDs… but still why would a P4 require 4TB of storage…. If it's a HTPC then shouldn't it be at home next to the tele…
And some pretty decent Dell 24" Ultrasharps up for grabs albeit the 05 and 07 models
- Davo1111 on 11/09/2010 - 01:17
  
  Not trying to be clever, but 500 + 500 + 640 + 320 = 2TB
  - Trance N Dance on 11/09/2010 - 06:50
    
    You forgot the 1960GB HDD between "2048MB RAM" and "Powers Up"
    Don't worry I did too until I looked for how much ram it had.
    - Davo1111 on 11/09/2010 - 11:18
      
      i thought thats just the total? "powers up" implies its made up of the following hdds?
      
      oh well :P
      - Trance N Dance on 11/09/2010 - 19:35
        
        @Davo1111: mmmm didn't look at it that way, cause they do add up to 1960….. and there's no such thing as a 1960GB HDD…

  A CHALLENGE!
  - em on 11/09/2010 - 11:29
    
    that would be soooo cool :D
    - Tenebrae on 11/09/2010 - 11:36
      
      It's not all that hard really, especially with a good stethoscope and a cheap combo lock. The safe might be a bit harder, would need to determine what kind of lock it has and whether you have the right tools to compromise it.
      - Trance N Dance on 11/09/2010 - 19:36
        
        @Tenebrae: They're both safes…. one's with a combination lock and the other uses a key.
Trance N Dance on 11/09/2010 - 20:26

So anyone go and find/bag themselves something interesting/cheap.
- cwongtech on 11/09/2010 - 21:16
  
  Isn't it already over?
  - Trance N Dance on 11/09/2010 - 21:56
    
    Yes.
    I was asking if anyone went and got something interesting, I've never been and was wondering if you could actually get somethign cheap.
    - Davo1111 on 11/09/2010 - 23:09
      
      also curious. any ozb-ers get a "good deal" they'd love to share?
impulse555 on 13/09/2010 - 18:52

Mate bought a pallet of 20" lcd monitors. Some are faulty. Nevertheless good pick up. Wish i could go and see if there was anything good.
- Trance N Dance on 13/09/2010 - 22:32
  
  How much did pay for it and how many are working?
