Attendance was sparse (maybe 10% of capacity in San Jose). Bidding was
slow, prices were soft; I did quite well on a 4/110 and OK on 2 386i's.
Most lots allowed individual unit purchases; a few lots were sold as bulk
quantities. For separate lots of the same item, bids were first taken for
single units, then the remaining units were re-auction in quantities until
all sold. Leasametric was a big buyer.
BTW, I'd like to sell one of the 386i's, below my cost. See misc.forsale.
