Hey folks, 

My friend works for the BBC and their TV centre in Shepherd's bush is closing and all the stuff there is being auctioned off.

Perhaps some good stuff could be got for Hackspace?

There's loads of audio and video/satellite gear, but there are also welding machines, lathes, and all sorts of heavy duty maintenance gear.

Yes, we'll be looking out for it.

There have been several already though : there might be a few bargains but it's fairly competitive. The combination of easy london access, memorabilia, and wide publicity gets a lot of bids.

I asked an 'insider' about this and he said:

'its all the remants from news and current affairs and will go for big money

be careful if buying lathes as likely very very well used and as ex bbc will hit premium money too'

In case that helps...
