Look who is high bidder.

 

[RaySun2Be]

LOL! I think he LIVES on EBay and Anandtech!

 

[Freewolf]

I wonder if he will be selling some more computer parts again

 

[aphoenixrises]

OMG You gotta love a guy with that much determination. And speaking of someone always being on Ebay and these forums, How did You come about finding this Ebay listing, and then posting it here? Sounds like you two have much in common. LOL
Just raggin on ya, that was a cute post. But 41.00 WOW! Is that for real?
I guess Ill get mine the old fashion way and throw a party when I hit 100.

 

[Freewolf]

The last one he bidded on and won ended up going for a lot more than $41.00!

 

[BadThad]

OMG! This again? I see a trend now, everyone's selling out their wu's, LMAO!

Wonder how much I could get for my 16k? J/K!

 

[BigFatCow]

hah, network man...

he does so much for this team its kind of funny...

 

[Evadman]

He forfited a dishwasher last time, so I am keeping my eye out for one @ my Home Depot

 

[Smoke]

Let see, if I had a standing offer of .01 @ WU I could spend $50,000 and be the #1 Team in the World......and never analysis a WU. :Q

 

[networkman]

It's a LONG ways to 10th place in the Team ladder.

you should never bid on anything on e-bay that you want
until the last minute of the auction... you're just driving up
the final price.

.....not that i'd ever buy work units.... but that's another issue.

i don't have anything against people who do.

 

[networkman]

>> you should never bid on anything on e-bay that you want until the last minute of the auction... you're just driving up the final price.

Not necessarily.. sometimes you can't be there at the last minute so putting in a proxy bid beforehand works quite well. Additionally, the seller may take note of my recent auction wins and offer to sell the item to me for x price instead of letting the auction finish naturally - something eBay now allows for.

 

[IJump]

Go networkman!!

 

[paf077]

Hey Networkman, why buy WU's?
To save on your electric bill??

j/k Hope you can get them!

 

[seaquake]

Once you all get done buying up all these WUs, let me know if you have any money left over. I've got some beachfront property in Idaho for sale!

 

[lane42]

Go Get'em NWM , Something tell's me this is going to be a 2 or 3 hundred dollar winning bid. Maybe ill put in a bid tomorrow,,, For the TeAm of corse, and only if NWM isn't the leading bidder.

 

[IBhacknU]

/me ponders the thought of PIMPIN out his fleet and WUs

or

"Will trade WUs for lumber"

 

[IsOs]

<< "Will trade WUs for lumber" >>



What are you building, Hack?

 

[ZeroEffect]

are there any HOT chicks out there that want some
work units??? maybe we could work a deal....

!

 

[marcoco]

I dont trust any ebay auction that doesnt have a photo of the product.

 

[aphoenixrises]

How do you post a picture of seti Wu's
And looks like price is way up today.

He did post a "pic" of sorts, proof of his SETI WUs, found HERE

 

[TuffGuy]

too bad you can't merge them into an existing account or i'd be all over this.

 

[Shuxclams]

What about a group effort to get those Wu's, I will pitch in some $$.

Aren't we losing sight of the purpose of the Seti At Home project? We are looking for a Signal that is not static from somewhere in the universe. Spending our money on already analyzed Work Units is not helping the project. Geez.

Hate to ruffle feathers here but that is my opinion.

It would really be a stretch to make a claim that establishing a cash value or market value for old WUs would encourage people to start running SETI At HOME or to increase their production capacity.
