IT Auction Sites?

Posted by Cliff on from the there's-gotta-be-better-than-eBay-for-this-stuff dept.

deeperMotive asks: "A friend and I are knee-deep in starting a business and are in need of some semi-industrial strength scanners, along the lines of the Canon 5020. As with so many other things in life, Money is, of course, a BIG issue which leads to: Are there any good IT auction or resale sites we should check out for this type of hardware? I've visited a couple, but nothing that didn't seem to have much more than what I could find with eBay and some patience. Any suggestions?"

    like rasmus.com. Not fond of them myself, but they auction off a lot of Washington DC area and east coast dot coms that have gone under.

    I've gotten some great deals there, and seen lots of things go for too much. Know what you want, and what it's worth.

    This isn't an auction site -- but you may find what you're looking for (in limited quantities) at the MIT Flea Market in Cambridge, MA.

    They're on the third Sunday of each month, April through October...there's a little bit of info here (it's the best site I could find on short notice -- but still sucky).

    I haven't been in over a year, but there is usually some useful stuff there...and even some not-so-useful stuff that's juts damn cool (like IPC's, Sparc 5's, old SGI's, and Alphas).
