LeMarchand Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 I had visions of some lovely old pile up for grabs rather than the contents!
tech_guy Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) Looks like they're not bothering to break that cab down and sell it all as separate lots? Could be a few bargains going then. And check out lots 175 to 180: 175 and 176, etc. Edited May 1, 2015 by tech_guy
tech_guy Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Gotta bid on this: Reproduction chainmail body armour with reproduction medieval helmet
davyboi Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Never mind the IT stuff I wouldn't mind lot 497 for boiling up some homebrew, shame it's over 120 miles away
elsiegee40 Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Gotta bid on this: Reproduction chainmail body armour with reproduction medieval helmet Wear it round school and start a rumour about wifi radiation protection 2
abillybob Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Owww Poor school. It's like looking at an abandoned building, to think only a little while ago it was buzzing with students and staff is upsetting. 1

abillybob Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Their website is still up as well showing events "not to miss" in July! Quinton House School | Quinton House School
Miscbrah Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Let's buy it, all run it the way we want, the way we've dreamed of. A place where ICT workers will always have a home. Technologies sans Frontiers! Call it Outer Heaven Primary (anyone aware?) ...Can anyone develop nukes? Srs.
ButterflyMoon Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Wouldn't mind having the minibuses to convert to campervans 1
Chris_ Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 I've seen a couple of auctions for the contents of independent schools.. working in an independent school you realise how vulnerable you are and one day it could be the contents of our buildings up for auction!
tech_guy Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Wouldn't mind having the minibuses to convert to campervans I was thinking the very same thing! 1
Achandler Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Can we have it put on record that @abillybob has linked the incorrect school, Quinton House school has not gone under, still does have events happening. The article on the BBC says that Quinton House is offering to work with pupils and parents to get them places. It is Great Houghton that went under.
tech_guy Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 That BBC article is confusing - it scoobied my brain at first until I re-read it a couple of times.
clockend25 Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 We've been looking at what might be of interest to us. I think we'll probably be sending a scouting party over on one of the viewing days. It's sad, but there's probably kit there that can benefit other schools facing financial struggles.
mthomas08 Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 I'm surprised at all the good IT stuff I keep spotting, I like attractive technology but did they just throw money at IT and hope for the best...
Edu-IT Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Epson 3LCD ceiling mounted computer projector with Smartboard screen and pair of Nuvo loud speak... Someone has written the assets on the smartboard in red pen!
abillybob Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Epson 3LCD ceiling mounted computer projector with Smartboard screen and pair of Nuvo loud speak... Someone has written the assets on the smartboard in red pen! That made me gasp when I saw it too! What a tool.
Edu-IT Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Hopefully it'll be easy to remove. I'm wondering why some people have bidded on what appears to be boxes of junk! They must have spotted value.
gsk Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Also, BT are going to be cross if someone wanders off with their box from lot 171
matt40k Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Also, BT are going to be cross if someone wanders off with their box from lot 171 More you'll prob get an engineer turn up the day of the auction to upgrade it 1
