Here's the video I just posted with some footage of the massive amount of stuff that was auctioned off, along with audio commentary.

How did this auction work?  Was it all done from Bill's house.. and people watched and bid over the internet?  Or did Bill have to move all of that stuff somewhere and everyone physically showed up there?

The materials were taken to a convention center rented for roughly a dozen auctions by an auction house, the items laid out on a set of tables, and then the party moved through the collection tables with designations of what was being auctioned (usually by the box or pile) and then people bidding on them and then walking away or storing what was bought. It was hours.

What was the final take?

I had fun bidding on the online auctions. They went so fast! Very satisfying. 

Such an amazing collection. I admire Bill's ability to be decisive and move forward with his life after collecting.

They don’t disclose the final take (I asked).

 

Based on my informal observation the non-system stuff went extremely cheap (books, controllers, cables, and misc electronics). $10-30 for half a table or more.

 

I don’t recall the systems (consoles and computers) going for all that much. I wasn’t really paying that much attention. There were exceptions of course (one auction went for $600 because there was a component of an Altair computer in there).

 

The software and games is where prices started to go up. Some went as low as $10 (minimum bid). $600-700 was the highest I noticed (there could have been some that went for more). Generally they’d grab a handful of games and start bidding at $10-$50 (they started at 4 items per lot but as the night progressed and there were still mountains of stuff to go the lots got progressively bigger just to move it all).

 

My SWAG? Maybe 125-150k? Everyone present heard the final bids. Technically you could write them all down and get an exact number but it started at 3pm and I left around 1:30am and there was still stuff left. It all had to go even if they had to stay until 7am (the drop dead cutoff).

And here I though the LAPC-I prices were crazy.

I'm almost sure I have that same set of parts lieing around, MT-32 still in its original packaging ... could be an MCB-1, though, not an IPC (what's the difference?).

Any idea anyone how this price came about? The MT-32 alone usually goes for about $50 give or take, doesn't it?

My guess: It came from nowhere. The high price is an anchoring effect.
