I have updated the list - enjoy. Most of these items are untested, although we will be happy to try them out on the day. They have no warranty. There may be a reserve on some items. Proceeds from the sale will go to The National Museum of Computing.
If you can't come and would like to bid on an item, please send me a PM with the title "bid for lot xx". This will be via a single 'sealed bid' process. I will put these messages aside and will look at them from 2.00 pm on Saturday 18th - i.e. just before the auction. If your bid is more than the room, then it will be yours. We can make arrangements for payment and collection etc later on. If your payment is not taken within a week of the sale, then we will put it back in the for sale pool.
Complete computers and IT spares left with the museum
These have never been accepted onto formal museum stock. The museum already has examples of these types of machines, and feel it would be better in the hands of an enthusiast.
