I don't think you understand how proper equipment auctions work. The 5 PSUs were one lot.
Yes, as I've explained before.
What Dave will do by testing/calabrating/fixing and then eBaying them one at a time, adds back to the community.
Yes, I think it's a real win-win, and is why I get stuff from auctions.
a) It gives me content that people enjoy (even Cside admits he likes it and wants me to do it)
b) I actually enjoy doing it
c) It is potentially another income source, or source of cheap gear to giveaway. But often I'm just happy to break even on auction stuff I buy when I get a video out of it. Sometimes I might even make a loss on something, and justify it that it was money well spent on the content.
Given that Cside's real problem now seems to be that I "bragged" about it, well this was hardly bragging, as as I've said I paid a
lot of money for this stuff. If there was any bragging it would have to do with the fact that I got anything at all at this auction which was incredibly fierce. I"m taking a big risk here that I can actually resell this stuff for some profit after I'm done making content with it. Perhaps enough profit to pay for keeping a couple of the items for the lab.
