[ATMoB-discuss] Re: Silent Auction

[Paul Valleli]

Bruce, NO.
Dave Valleli declared them surplus to Axsys' needs and I suggested gifting
to ATMoB so we can get some cash for other more important needs.
I am just the custodian/grunt.
Here are my comments to Dave Aucoin:

OSTI Surplus - something to do with a University in Germany.


>Are they Coulter like?

Possibly, look like rolled Pyrex. Phil thinks he tested them about 
ten years ago
but did not use a sling mount - needed because they are thin, about 18:1


>Do they have good aluminizing on them?

Yes, it looks good except for a few sleeks from handling.


>What do you expect ot auction them off for each?

Don't know.
To the highest bidders. It's for the club so I hope for
$25 - $50 apiece.
In silent auction one person writes down what he is willing to pay, 
usually very low.
Others then go down the line and boost the offer.
I believe we will announce the winners at 10 - 10:30PM
