Laptops, get in quick - Page 5

doh, its understandable though. Still flexible as due to their lightness they are expensive second hand.

There's still headroom on your bid Zirax as I bid below your maximum. The rest were bid at the stated amounts.

I *should* illness permitting get an update at lunchtime tomorrow so keep an eye out between then and 4PM in case you want to increase your bid.

Mark · 26-07-2007, 22:11

If I do find anyone has been outbid tomorrow, I will text them ASAP. Have your phones handy.

Mark · 27-07-2007, 11:38

All four bids are winning right now, but I'm now told I won't get any updates, so if you want any bids changing, let me know by 3.30PM. It's definitely finishing today.

cheers for the update Mark

*All* bids except Pebbles' have been outbid.

I'll up Zirax's bid to £150

The C600 is currently at £51, and the N410c is at £101.

*Please let me know if you want me to re-bid ASAP*

Mark · 27-07-2007, 16:02

*Bids closed*

Will pass along the results as soon as I find out.

OK - there were two of us bidding for two laptops (the X40 and N800). The other guy only wanted one but bid on both in the hope of getting one, and I wanted both outright.

I agreed with Zirax to let the X40 go, and I've bid Pebbles' N800 up to £160 but I'll cover the £10 difference (it is for charity after all).

I think that means success on the C600 and the N410, but I await confirmation of that.

Aand, the results - I seem to be spamming this thread.

Model Current highest bid (£) CPU Memory HDD

Thinkpad X31 £120.00 intel pentiumiii M 1400MHz 512 35GB
Compaq Evo N410c £130.00 intel pentiumiii M 1200MHz 768 35GB
Compaq Evo N400c £45.00 intel pentiumiii 256 20GB
Compaq Evo N800v £135.00 intel pentium4 1.6 GHz 512 30GB
Compaq Evo N410c £120.00 intel pentiumiii M 1200MHz 768 30GB
Dell lattitude C600 £60.00 intel pentiumiii 512 30GB
Compaq Evo N800v £160.00 intel pentium4 1.6 GHz 1024 30GB
Dell lattitude C800 £100.00 intel pentiumiii 512 20GB
Thinkpad 600 £35.00 intel pentiumii 400MHz 256 12GB
Thinkpad X40 £155.00 intel pentium M 1200MHz 512 40GB
Compaq Evo N410c £90.00 intel pentiumiii M 1200MHz 512 30GB

Red = losing bid. Green = winning bid.

Pebbles - the N800v bid is £10 higher than you agreed. This is not a mistake - as it's a charity auction I decided to contribute £10 myself to secure the win, so you only need to cover £150 as agreed.

We can sort out payment and delivery details via PM. I'll pay for and collect the two laptops on Monday.
