Fwd: Christie's Gen One | Cray 2 Start Bid Update

[Stan Sieler]

The minimum bid on the Cray-2 has dropped to a mere $100!

Note that they expect the packing/shipping cost to be about $50,000

(OTOH, I presume that doesn't get a buyer's premium on it :)

NOTE: since I received the email, it got some bidding action...up to $5,000 now!  Bargain!
