I thought Shreve Systems sold off 100% of their Macintosh inventory to concentrate soley on their Shreve Audio business?
They pulled a trick that has become annoyingly common at auctions these days. They didn't like the prices they were getting so they just didn't sell a bunch of the stuff despite having bids on it. Most auctions include language that allows them to do this, but it changes the operation from a bonafide auction into what's really a solicitation for offers. I think it's fraudulent to call an event an auction if such a clause is included, but that's the way it is.
CRA Systems (AKS Radius Vintage) pulled the same shenanigans at their auction in Waco several years ago. They must be cousins or something.
