I actually came across this auction prowling around on Ebay for a
Symetrix 501.

They are doing it as this weird "bidspotter" thing whatever the hell
that is...it gets advertised on Ebay but it's more of a live auction
later on. You have to pre-register and a bunch of other crap.

Anyway, they are STARTING the bid for their 501 at $100, which is at
or above what 501's usually cap out at on ebay...they might fetch a
bit more sometimes but $100 is usually the ceiling.

So if this is any indication of their pricing for an AUCTION then good
luck...

There will also be a 15% surcharge on all sales to cover the auction
costs. Some damn nice gear though....

The gig is that they don't own their own building & real estate... so the
odds of someone grabbing the whole lot are pretty slim. So bidding on
individual pieces is certainly not out of the question.

I took the time to peruse the entire auction list. Amazing. This is how
a studio should look in my humble estimation... albeit a fantasy for me.

Since the aution is being handled by an experienced audio guy, it should
be fun to watch if nothing else. I plan to bid on a few low dollar items that
hopefully most people would pass on, but was the drool ever coating my
keyboard as I passed through the item list.

Registering was no big deal... user name, password, contact phone and
e-mail. No brainer. To pull this 'live' auction off, I can understand the 15%
fee. The tough part, is that you have to make an advance deposit equal to
10% of your expected purchasing power in order to be approved for proxy
or absentee bidding. If you plan to sit in the building, it's a $200 admission
fee.

Actually, it's both sad and amazing at the same time.
