Dumping inventory
Hi All, My circumstances have changed; I'm no longer able to do Mac repairs & consultant work. And I’ve moved to new place, that has no storage space. Time to dump my Macs (mostly G3 and G4 machines), parts, etc. Besides LEM Swap and Craigslist, can you recommend good places to sell this stuff?

Re: Dumping inventory
LOL We could build Machenge! Looks like LEM Swap and eBay are it. I’m starting to list stuff on LEM Swap, but I’m moderated. So we’ll see... - Dan. > On Mar 6, 2017, at 07:48 PM, M Christol wrote: > > Highway 61? > > sorry > > > On 3/6/17 12:53 PM, Dan Cottler wrote: >> Hi All, >> >> My circumstances have changed; I'm no longer able to do Mac repairs & >> consultant work.

Selling on LEM Swap
hey LEM Dan, As you’ve read, Beverly, your LEM Swap list nanny, and I are having a dispute over what can be sold on LEM Swap. I copied to you one of my responses to her but haven’t heard back from you. In order to continue with things, I need your “ruling”…. At this point, she has moderated me and then not bothered to respond to my previous two emails. After nearly a DECADE in good standing on LEM Swap, I find this treatment to be unacceptable. Beverly has accused me of being a dealer. Beyond the fact that there are quite a few dealers regularly dumping merch on LEM Swap without being hassled,,, I am NOT a dealer. Because of health issues, my small consulting & Mac repair biz was closed over a year and a half ago and I’m now living in a nursing home. I have +/- six months to liquidate everything before my old landlord feeds it to a dumpster. I cannot use CraigsList so I am hoping to sell most of the stuff to my friends on LEM Swap. … software, old Macs, Mac parts, HDs, mounting hardware & screws, cables, displays, printers, disc burners, laserwriter fusers & toner carts, inkjet carts, floppies, floppy labels, CD DVD & Blu-Ray blanks, disc labels, disc sleeves, jewel boxes, etc. Beverly’s next complaint was about me selling disc sleeves because they’re not "related goods". The faq says: “LEM Swap is Low End Mac’s Google Group for buying and selling Mac OS computers and related goods.” IMO, like blank discs, labels, and jewel boxes, they *are* __Related Goods__. These items are all must-haves to burn discs ON YOUR MAC. Additionally, a few years ago, I WAS PERMITTED to sell such on LEM Swap with no problem. Your FAQ goes on to say items like digital cameras are not acceptable because they are standalone items that are unrelated to Macs. That’s fine. But the supplies I have are NOT stand-alone items. They’re useless to anyone that doesn’t have a burner connected to their Mac. They’re PART of using a disc burner on a Mac. Likewise, am I going to have the same problem with selling disc blanks? Floppy discs? Labels? ... Beverly then complained that I was obtaining products for resale. I bought the first brick from my old wholesaler (a mac-only warehouse; yes, I still have friend/relationships with several wholesalers) because I needed some for myself. I offered the remainder on LEM Swap. Within an hour, all that I had were sold out! Then a strange thing happened - quite a few people blindly paypal’d money to me, expecting that it would be ok, and I would simply fill their orders. I emailed them, offering to refund the money — but they said they’d prefer to wait, while I got more. My wholesaler said he’d honor the same price, so I got two more bricks. And now I’m stuck with 2/3 of a brick because Beverly deleted the 2nd ad! ..The wholesaler actually wants me to buy the rest of the palette heh. I expect, just as it happened a few years ago, that if I offer disc blanks on LEM Swap, the same thing will happen. The people on LEM Swap are hungry for these items at the prices I’m able to provide. Why is this a problem?

Re: Selling on LEM Swap
Tried that - I copied one of the messages with Beverly to him, and my summary (the OP of this thread) was addressed to him first. Still haven’t gotten a response from either Dan or Beverly. - Dan. > On Mar 29, 2017, at 12:54 AM, W.Adrian D'Alessio > wrote: > > Try contacting Dan direct.
