7) Marklin Collection
-ASO Reports that the bids so far are not good.
-JEM made a survey on E-bay, calculating that if we
sold everything on E-bay we would get about $3500.
- Motion to tell the dealer we want $2500 (no lower).
If they go for it, we'll sell it. If they don't,
we'll go to the next step. MPU
- Step 2: try to sell whole thing in E-bay with a
reserve price of $2500. Buy-it-now $3000.
Talk to Stefano about it.
- Step 3: Individual sales on E-bay, would need to setup
an MIT e-commerce account.
ML, JP, Roger, others will help.
- Step 4: hopefully there's no step 4.
8) Disapaearing Treasurer's Desk
- Suggestion: we can get a safe for about $100 (TR)
- Better one: swap the old desk with tools & the
treasurer's desk; then cut the tools storage off the
old desk, and put that under the layout.
All agreed.
9) Scenecomm & storage
- Motion: to pressure scene-comm until they go through
all the boxes and they figure out what is useful, and
get rid of what is not; once the plywood is set, the
rest will be set appart for sale / disposal no later
than the fall.
