Amiga Auction List Posted
« on: June 16, 2003, 11:09:57 PM »
Murphy Auction Page on Amiga Inc Auction

The Auction house has the full list of whats going to be auctioned off now posted at the above URL.   Lots more stuff then I think most envisioned.

[color=990000]Update!  6/16/03 : [/color] Advanced Internet bidding and the online PDF catalog are now online.
Also a clarification from the Auction site : "Amiga Inc is not going out of business.  This is not an auction of Amiga as a corporate entity.  This sale is being conducted for property management of office assets only."


[color=990000]Update!  6/13/03 : [/color] Most of the PDA's and one-off prototype units have been returned to the actual vendors (Nokia, etcetera).  There is also a note on the site verifying that this auction is being done by the property management to pay off debts owed by Amiga Inc.

Sure. If you live nearby, you can score yourself a Nokia Media Terminal. News.

Well.. IIRC Nokia scrapped the plans they had for the mediaterminal, so this prototype may be worth something to some collectors of nokia junk in about 15 years or so... :-)

You know, for "used junk" I'm seeing some pretty penny items in there.  All in all, we're talking over $15k worth of material.  

This also shows the incredible waste of AInc.  They bought the priciest pieces of equiptment possible.  They were a start-up, what the heck are they doing with NORTEL and Cisco stuff?  That's the stuff you see either in high-end setups for big offices where the workload demands it or in internet-oriented mission-critical situations.  Unless AInc was secretly plotting to create their own ISP, these pieces were overpriced overkill!

No wonder they went out of business, they spent it on machines and equiptment that were unnecessary, on more office space than needed, bought fancy toys and irrelevent pieces of material, and generally burned through their cash faster than I can imagine.

Well, it's kinda good news there's no Amiga stuff for sale. This might very well just be a bunch of junk they no longer need because they're going to start using Amiga stuff in their Amiga business.

Do people feel the sudden urge to laugh or cry?   ;-)
