[comp.sys.mac.misc] Government Mac Auctions

davea@hpfcmgw.HP.COM (Dave Arns) (11/13/90)

Last January 6, a person from Rutgers named Eugene Bradley posted a note to
comp.sys.mac about Macintosh software and hardware being available for good
prices at government auctions.  In that note he gave a phone number of
1-800-448-5570 to call for information.  I saved the note for future reference,
and just tried to call that number today.  I got a recorded message that said,
"You have dialed a number that is not available from your calling area."

My question is this:  Is there a different number that a person in Colorado
must use?  I would guess there is; I've seen many a toll-free phone number of
the form "1-800-xxx-xxxx or, in <home state>, 1-800-xxx-xxxx>".  Does anyone
know what that number is for Coloradoans?  Or has the number changed in the
last 11 months?  If someone from elsewhere in the U.S. is able to call the
number above and ask the people on the other end what the Colorado number is, I
would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you very much.

Dave Arns

Just out of curiosity, have you tried 1-800-555-1212?
