State of New York does not know how to Ebay

[coboltmoon]

I was roaming around Ebay and came across New York State surplus listings. I checked some of their stuff and was amazed. The quality of the listings are horrible. The titles stink, the description are almost nonexistence and one photo per listing that is not that good. There is a link to a government inventory sheet but it is archaic and a PDF photo so it is not searchable by search engines or Ebay. I found a lot they were selling with seventy-five Pentium 4 computers, laser copies and other stuff listed as "COMPUTER EQUIPMENT, LOT OF".​

​

​

Someone could make a nice living buying the State of New York Ebay Mistakes. I wish they had some bottles.​

With a description like this I know why they only got $10 for a room full of computers.

View "seller's other items"...things are going for some pretty decent prices. All this equipment is from a closed-down correctional center. Remember that your state and federal governments are faceless monoliths without logic, compassion or any type of spending limits. Very likely they are managing to spend more money auctioning off these items than they will take in from the cumulative winning bids, but they don't care because they don't need to care.
