OMG! These would be great for team 32 I'd think, if they were AMD I'd jump on them myself... I don't have the money, but maybe if people chipped in to get some GHZ folding for 32?

2,000 dollars for 7 1.3ghz celerons isn't that great of a deal considering their performance.

what you talking about. Its 400 for the whole lot. If i had a paypal account, i wouldnt mind buying one from someone for $60-75.

he said he wouldnt' sell unless it was over 2k$
If ya read the bottom you would have noticed that he wont sell for less than $2,000 for all 7 computers. Not $400 for all 7 computers.

Well thing is, he said " I will not sell the computers for less than $2000. There may not be a reserve price but I will end the auction if less than $200." which is kinda sounding like if it's over 200 he'll sell it but he's aiming for 2k.

i think the 200 was a typo.

Yeah that's $285 each at $2000 for the lot. Not bad seeing that you get monitors, mice and keyboards but still not a good deal for a 1.3 Ghz Celeron. I'll stick with my 3.3 Ghz P4 that cost a little over $300.

Realize I was seeing them as about $600 total maybe ending bid... or about $85 each.. which would be a REALLY good deal.. Obviously at 2k it wouldn't be worth it.

Are you allowed to just end an auction that isn't a reserve because you don't like the price people are offering? I thought once a bid was entered, you were legally constrained to follow through with the auction if it was not set as a reserve.

I guess someone could try it and see if they win it and can get it at the winning price.

That's what I thought too.. I dunno, :/

even if you paid $2k, thats, what $286 each?. So sell the monitors ($70 each?), keyboards ($10?) and mice ($5?).
Thats $200 each for the base unit overall? Not as good as barebones XP rigs tho....

Actually what he is doing will likely get him kicked from ebay. He is trying to avoid fees and is stating he will see them outside of fleabay if he doesn't get what he wants for a price. In effect he is traing to avoid the reserve listing fee and dutch auction fees.
He can howevere end the auction for whatever reason he wants, but that is a very bad idea since most of the action happens in the final hours of the auction.

The seller ended this listing early because of an error in the listing

Could be, but also possible the 2k was a typo.

Thats funny. Those are the same comps my school uses. ~100 of that same variety would be my guess-maybe a just little more.
still not a good deal for a 1.3 Ghz Celeron.
Hmm. The ones at my school say pent III, not celly. This auction is a very bad deal for a folding farm. $285 a layer is bad for 1.3Ghz p3/celly. You could prolly get two good athlon xp layers for that.

/me hits you all
Once again, $285 would be bad, but for what it was going at, $85 a pop, it would have been nice.
The item was pulled anyways, so moot point.

6x50=300. Monitors
6x30=180. 20Gb HDD
7x25=175. Win2k disks
7x10=70. 56K modems
7x10=70. 25x CDroms
All that = $795.00
2000-795=1205.00/7=172.14 each.
Is terrible. You would still have to put some monet into networking them to run diskless. If you could talk him into $1500.
That only brings it down to $100.71 each.
And we haven't even gone into shipping either. Frieght isn't cheap!

Once again...

Don't have to keep repeating it :P got $600 which was what I thought it would end at, it would have been a nice price.
