frank, thanks for staying up nights to help us out-- i know that is tough in vegas re dellauction i read the following general info in the 2/5 edition of The Industry Standard (i-net mag): "To date the auction market has been dominated by business to business and consumer to consumer players. But there's really no reason why Wal Mart can't get into the act. A new report from Jupiter Communic says auctions on retail sites will become a platform for traditional clearance pricing and discounting. This pricing shift is expected to make business- to-consumer auctions a 3.2 billion market be 2002, with the number of auction buyers possibly climbing as high as 6.5 million." graph accompanying the article shows # 1998 online auctioon buyers at 1.2 million (versus projected 6.5 mill by 2002) also shows 1998 Business to consumer auction market at 0.5 billion versus 3.2 billion by 2002 I DON'T KNOW what dell's auction will offer but it appears they are the first company i know of that is going into what the article says will be a rapidly growing business. agree with earlier poster who said dell carries 7 day inventory. this may sound stupid but maybe dell pays $50 for computers people are discarding for their new dell then auctions them...then again if folks are on net looking at dell auction, they probably don't want used stuff.
