Guess memory express and ncix were to much to handle for them.
They are having a auction too!

happened abruptly about month or two ago
i was trying to browse their website and noticed it was down for a few days
was thinking to myself "lol, probably got owned by ncix/memory express"
prices were far from competitive in the last few years..they won't be missed
I'll miss them :(
only because they were the closest one to me. Sometimes, it isn't worth driving the extra bit to NCIX just to save an extra $1.

Whoa... I didn't see this coming.
I drive by it all the time, and didn't know they had closed down since a month or two ago.

Think you really have to be at this auction in person... way too many lots that don't have pictures or are like "bucket of miscellaneous electronics".

yeah i checked out their website about a month ago looking to pick up a micro sd card and micro usb cable from there. i don't mind paying an extra $1 or $2 instead of driving all the way to either burnaby or west broadway. i drove past it a few times and noticed it was closed, i just assumed they were maybe renovating or something.
anyways can someone give me some insight on how the auctioning will go
just overall details

Whoa, I was browsing the Able pages a couple days ago and saw this, didnt know it was Anitec. I'd go but i have class on that day..I wonder how much the 6950's would go for?

Really I think NCIX locations are not bad...broadway for the D/T & west-end folks, metrotown for the bby & east van folks.
Better than driving to memory express in richmond.
so when's ATIC going down? I remember that place was half decent
..10 years ago :troll:

Man... I want to bid, but the damn site wants me to provide my CC information through a non-encrypted form. I hope they get their asses hacked.

Bought about 3 custom built computers from them before and I had great service as well. You will be missed.

That sucks. I really liked their store layout, as in how it's like a warehouse to take a look
at all the products. One thing I didn't like about NCIX was that you can't buy a product
without taking a look at the product packaging and stuff before hand since they don't bring the product out until you make your purchase.
Although that was in the past, now that NCIX has a store in Aberdeen,
you can see products on display too now.
I've never heard of memory express before. Do they have weekly sales like NCIX?

no good computer system hardware (mobo, cpu, gpu, etc) cause they returned it to supplier before closing

They're up to $30 now I think.
I bid on a different chair for $1 lol.
edit: also if it says for a "group" does that mean I'm bidding for the lot of chairs? -.-

Totally forgot about this thread :P and yeah "group" means your bidding for the lot of chairs.
Sad to see Anitec gone too, liked it at the old location where it was like NCIX and how they had to go to the back for the item

I think they do but IMO it's not as organized as the NCIX's website. I suspect some of the items are recycled over previous sales because I always spot the same laptops/RAM/printer deals. They do have some good deals often (e.g. a certain mobo for $125 while everyone else is selling for $160+).
I think you might like ME because it is set up like a retail store and you can check out the products packaging. It's just the online side I'm not a big fan of.

Looking at the prices of the lots sold so far, no deals to be had...

About time these crooks closed down. I dealt with them 2 or 3 times when they were at their old location and they refuse to stand behind their products. If you wanted something replaced/fixed under warranty, it would take MONTHS!
I'm happy I took my business elsewhere long ago. Fuck you Anitec.

Went today so yeah lots of people don't really know how to bid. They didn't even bother waiting for the price to drop lower. Especially when it come to multiple item's like office chair. No one is going to buy 20+ same fucking chair in one bidding. So instead of waiting for it to drop below 80 or even 100. People start bidding at 120. So the price go higher and higher. So the buy out price is who ever bid last. If only that person didn't over bid the other. Everyone who wanted that chair could had pay less. Guys need to learn to look at the list and see how many item's are there. I mean if its only one item i understand. But for batch item's. Learn to bid low and help each other out.

LOL I look at some of the price the items were sold at and I honestly can guy them new for that price.

Even when out of business, they're still overcharging. Keep on trollin' Anitec.

Anyone know how much those 6950s went for?, i placed a bid on the lot of 2 for 1.25 :P LOL, after 5 minutes it went up to 180
striderblade
08-04-2011, 11:25 PM
6950 sold for 200 +15% buyer premium fee which is about 30 dollars and tax. Final pay out is around. 257.60. So the guy save about 41 dollars if he were to buy it from ncix. So meh

Meh indeed. NCIX had MSI N570GTXs for $250 last week or the week before, I forget.
