i didn't think that anybody here knew him. he was in the bishopric of my freshman ward, and i became close friends both with him and with his wife (and was lucky enough to babysit his oldest daughter a number of times) > > > There are all types of things there, including printers, monitors, > > hard drives, a wireless card, NICs, modems, video cards, etc. > > > > Prices are negotiable (and extremely low). > > Don't feel shy about overpaying a little. I know that Curtis's widow > has at least one child to care for. she has two adorable little girls. as far as prices go, i know that a lot of items are probably underpriced, and she realizes that as well. her main goal is to get most of these items out of the house. she originally was considering just tossing things, but asked me if i thought that people might be interested in any of it. so, i suggested this, and helped with organization and pricing. in the process of pricing, we tried to err on the side of under-pricing, simply because of what the goal was, but if you feel that something is severely underpriced, i'm sure that she would appreciate your offering a higher bid, but she would be happy to sell it at the stated price as well. ~Erin > > Mike > > > .___________________________________________________________________. > "This is about humans being human." > - Carl Sagan > -------------------- > BYU Unix Users Group > http://uug.byu.edu/ > > The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their > author.
