NOVEMBER 03, 2005 (COMPUTERWORLD) - Hewlett-Packard Co. was the high bidder in the sale of the now defunct Interex user group's customer database and mailing list. The company will pay $66,500 for the list and was one of three bidders in the bankruptcy-court-sanctioned sale.
Interex, the Sunnyvale Calif.-based user group that had claimed 100,000 members, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection in July after canceling HP World, its annual user conference. Interex closed after incurring about $4 million in debt (see "Interex seeks bankruptcy protection after shutdown").
The bidding process came after Genisys Corp., a Redmond, Wash.-based reseller of refurbished HP hardware, offered to buy the list for $15,000.
Bidding was conducted at the end of October, and one of the three bidders was Genisys. The third bidder wasn't identified in court papers filed Oct. 31 that announced the bid results.
