Thanks for the notice. Not that any of us will be high bidders but good to
at least follow along with the community that cares.
I'd be happy if a rich person bought the stuff, at least it would not be
scrapped. But I'm still guessing the "prettiest" things will be sold at
auction and the rest of it will go to a big "scrap" bid.
If you care, bid the price above the scrap value. Otherwise you know
what's going to happen (ie: the usual)

This appears to be just an upcoming auction advisory, there’s very little
info.
"CDC-5000 and Cray 2 will be offered alongside their miniaturized
predecessors in the Altair 8800 and Apple-1"
CDC-5000 ?
predecessors ?
