You don't get to bid on it on site, and then remove it.

It goes to DOAS first.

Therein lies the rub. You wanna bid on a Cyber in known operatonal
condition, or what may turn out to be a useless pile of junk? If they
came up for auction every day, it'd be a different matter.

Apperently it's not insignificant. Supposedly there is considerable gold
   on the circuit boards. May be water cooler myth, can anyone confirm
or deny?

 

Good question, though. Need a figure, as a baseline. On the to do list,
unless somebody has an idea.
