Matt from losantiville tipped us off that this auction is going on. There seems to be a lot of stuff there for good prices. They’re selling practically everything in mt healthy school (including a few shop tools). The auction ends at 11am today.

I have registered on the auction site and will bid on the vacuum. Anyone have a price limit?
There is so much great stuff…it’s just all so big! Some of those buy this entire room for $40 is just crazy.
I sent the link to the cinci fitness ppl downstairs. Maybe the’ll check there mail before the auction ends and can get some of that workout gear.
I can chip in some money say 40-50 for stuff if we need it.
Ok, I have bid on the vacuum, utility sink, the LaserJet 4050N (for me), and a photo enlarger for Hodapp.
The vacuum is the expensive item, it is a serious vacuum, google searches show it going for at a minimum of $400, we are currently at $96 w/ a max of $100.
The scoreboard is really cool, but it is 80" x 88" and will not fit in or on my car.
yeah nor in the Hive. We would have to get the cincy fitness ppl to put it up in their space 
Some good stuff here going for cheap. I don’t know where we’d put it, but the Biology/Chemistry/Physics storage closet incubator, sterilematic looks cool with the winning bid currently at $26!

The final verdict is the two things I was bidding on for the group both went for more than my maximum bids (the Vacuum and the Utility Sink), however I did manage to pick up a laser printer for myself and a photo enlarger for the hodapp.
Thanks for doing this!
I too got an enlarger – i bet you were the one bidding against me for one of em 
I only wish I had more time to look through it all - so much rediculously cheap stuff! (like basketball hoops, boards, and hosts for $30?!! On the other hand, plenty of overpriced stuff too, like a $500 chair)
I also picked up a piano for $27. I don’t know of its playing condition (i’m an optimist), or if I will be able to easily get it into my apartment (6 floors & tiny elevator), but if there is any desire for it at the Hive, I would probably be willing to donate it.
