Mark does that mean you aren't going to be taking any more bids?

Given that they're ex-company laptops from the workplace and I suspect they're intended for personal use, I don't want to abuse the system. Sorry. Even though it's for charity it'd be a bit unfair if I went after the lot. I expected a bit of interest but not this much.

Sorry Mark I'm probably being daft here but does that mean you don't want anyone else to ask for the laptops? Was about to ask about one of the Compaq Evo N410c ones and ask you to put a bid in but not sure whether I should now

Surely the point is if they all go then great for the charity and they'll go to the highest bidder. If that is you then all well and good?

with a docking station

Thanks Mark.

In an ideal world, yes. But then I guess company politics comes in to play.

Is it too late or inappropriate or whatever to place a bid now? I cant quite figure it out!

/If I could make a bid, would it swing things if I made a further contribution to the charidee? I've been looking out for a laptop of about this spec on eBay for a little while and it would be great to get one but with the money going to a good cause instead

EDIT:

Whoops, this is DRZ! Paula left herself signed in!

Afraid so matey, I think the time has passed. But I think that actually occured yesterday at 11pm, not sure though.

Blackstar · 26-07-2007, 13:06

Well just in case, I'd like to bid £100 on whichever of the IBMs Zirax doesnt want (his post is contradictory!).

If it cant be done it cant be done and thats cool, but if it can then woohoo!
