Looks like I am the lucky winner of this auction.
To be honest I was mostly interested in acquiring a working vic-20, c64 and a 128. And hopefully a couple of working monitors. If I'm lucky enough to find a working A1200 tucked in the middle, that would be a bonus.
It is way more stuff than I wanted or need, and I did not want the majority of it going to a landfill, so I partnered up with another amiga.org member and we are going to split it up equally.
We will let you know of any hidden treasures in there, if any.
If there is anything left that neither of us wants and is of any interest to anyone else on here, I'm sure we can work something out.

Well to be honest, the lot was a little disappointing.
Other than the one A1000 that was visible in the picture, it consisted of mainly 8 bit machines. No other Amigas.
The A1000 was in extremely bad condition and -D- took that as he didnt have one and wanted to see if he could bring it back to life.
The rest of the stuff was....

C128 x 6
Vic20 x 3
C64 x 8
1571 x 10
1701 x 4
1084 x 2
1902 x 1
And about 13 various printers that were completely worthless.

Out of all of that there were maybe 2 of each of the 128's and 64's that were in good condidtion. The rest were all missing keys and pretty beat up. And one VIC20 that was in excellent condition.
There was also one other computer in there that stood out.
That was a B128-80 in prestine condition surprisingly.
Although I would have to say I am happy to have gotten some good working 8 bit stuff, I was hoping for some hidden Amigas in there.
