I read in last Sunday's SF Examiner that Businessland is planning a massive
auction of all their excess inventory and overstocked items. I talked to the
auction company and they told me that there should be over 500 CPU's and 500 
printers (both laser and dot-matrix) going on the block for sale to the
highest bidder.

More unusual for an auction, many of the items are nearly new and will have
a 30 day warranty. Plus, they'll be taking credit cards. Sounds like an event
too good to be true. Businessland carries IBM, MAC, NCR, Compaq, Wyse, HP,
Epson and a few others. They used to carry Next and there's even supposed to
be a few Next systems thrown in, too.
