I checked out Dovebid...you gotta put a $500 deposit down first??? Is it better to be their in person or bid on the net?? This stuff is way outta my league. os
Here's something interesting...Looking at some of the tv's I ran across these being auctioned off: SONY, 24" TRINITRON FLAT SCREEN, COLOR TV Model KV-20FS12 I did a search on the model and it shows them to be only 20". I wonder how many other details are wrong??? http://www.sel.sony.com/SEL/consumer/ss5/home/tv/fdtrinitronwegatmtelevisions/kv-20fs12.shtml
I also did some research. The NEC 50" Plasma tv's that they are auctioning off cost about $12,000!! Others are even more expensive.
I imagine not much better then what this: I can't wait till Rockets games are on HD! That would ROCK!
Reading the fine print on this page: <A HREF="http://www.dovebid.com/Auctions/AuctionDetail.asp?auctionID=1480">Enron Corporation Auction</A> raises several issues that should be taken into account before bidding. <i>Buyer's Premium: Auctioneer shall charge and collect from each successful bidder a 13% buyer’s premium for each sale at the auction, in addition to the purchase price as bid. Buyers who pay in the form of cash, cashier’s check, company check (with a letter of guarantee) or wire transfer, shall receive a discount from the buyer’s premium equal to 3% of the purchase price (unless such buyers bid over the Internet in a live Webcast auction, in which case the discount shall be equal to 1% of the purchase price). </i> It looks like they are pushing the credit card overhead back to you if that is your chosen method of payment. <i> ALL EQUIPMENT REMOVAL MUST BE DONE BY THE DOVEBID APPROVED VENDORS! NO EXCEPTIONS!! ALL REMOVAL BY APPOINTMENT ONLY! Removal: TBD (Monday thru Friday only, From 9am to 4pm Local time) Buyers are responsible for removal of assets and all shipping and rigging charges. </i> You won't be allowed to drive a U-Haul to the warehouse to pick up your items, so allow for for extra charges. <i> DoveBid may, in its discretion, offer the assets for sale by the piece or by the lot. In addition, DoveBid may augment this auction with assets from various sellers. These assets may be interspersed throughout the auction. The seller has the right to remove assets from the auction either before or after bidding has completed. In the event of a removal after bidding has been completed, the purchaser’s sole remedy shall be the refund of any purchase price actually paid </i> Since they seem to have many like items grouped in a series, it is possible that the winning bidder on the first item in the group may be allowed to specify how many items he wants from that group. If it is a dealer and he wants all of the like items, he makes a circular motion with his hand (indexed finger extended). It is still unclear on this issue, so this is a <i>just in case</i> notice. Don't forget to allow for taxes were applicable.
