Re: [GSAS-board] GSAS auction confirmations



Susan, what make/model is the printer?

I already bought a printer for GSAS auctions several years back -- I bought a used inkjet model from Re-PC for $10, and then proceeded to pay twice as much just for the cartridge. That took care of us for the first couple auctions. Then the ink dried up, and I spent the better part of a day soaking the cartridge in water to reconstitute it each time we had another auction. So essentially, inkjet = stoopid thing to have sitting around for the better part of a year in my closet, or $20-30 per year/auction to get a new cartridge (and wasteful at that). They work just fine if someone brings in their own with a working cartridge for the meeting.

Laser printers, can sit around indefinitely, because the toner cartridge is dry to begin with. But again, a wrinkle -- most laser printers are bulky & heavy. I don't want to lug all the other stuff AND that around.

The ideal situation is for someone else to bring one in that they don't mind lugging over (if I can get the printer information in advance, and make sure I set it up right). But if not, Frys regularly discounts one of the lightweight Brother printers like Christine has (though not this week).

      can we really get a printer for $40 and would you be willing to store it?

      It seems that between what is there and what Erik is bringing we might be 
in good
      shape as far as bags go?
       
      I will bring Costco Pizza, does three seem like a good number? Do you 
think more or
      less?? Let me know. 
       
      As for the printer, ours has been acting up a bit so I am not comfortable 
bringing
      it. Does anyone else have one (Phil did you bring one last time?) Or do 
we just want
      to go the $40 route and buy one for the club?? Opinions?

      There's a bunch left in the library. I got some at Costco and Margie 
brought a bunch
      in as well last year. I can pick up another box of four at Costco again.

      Can not remember if I bought pizza for the Feb. auction last year (for the
      volunteers) or if we only did that for the April auction, please refresh 
my
      memory. 
       
      I will be there close to 6pm to help with whatever needs to be done. 
       
      A big box of Ziplock bags was bought for the last auction, I don't know 
if any
      are left (Margie, did you buy them?? Or Susan??)

      Dear Phil,

 

Thank you for your work on the flier.  Meredith has requested the Falcon Lounge
6-10:30pm on Tuesday February 9th.  So that is the date.

 

In the past we have moved the auction time a little.  For 2008 the idea was 
check in
at 6:30 (especially for sellers), start at 7:30.  I will be there at 6 and would
like conformation of the check in and start TIMES  from the board for the flier.

We will  have our February auction/meeting  on

If we could have access from 6-10:30pm that would be wonderful
