WTB: I need a Sacramento resident to pick up and ship server to me on June 28th

heat: Klinkman

Alright all, this is a weird one. I need someone in Sacramento to go pick up a server for me, and then ship it to KC. I will pay for your time (negotiable rate, maybe $100?) plus all boxing and shipping costs are on me of course. Details below, but its an end of life backblaze pod that ive always wanted to fiddle with.

Exact details here
I dont know if there will be a line to get them, or what. I would like the Storage pod 3.0 .
Date: Friday June 28th
Time: 10:am - 5pm PST
Location: 11085 Sun Center Dr., Rancho Cordova CA, 95670

I figured if someone was nearby and wanted to make a 100 bucks pretty easy, this might work. You go (get in line maybe?) pick one up, and then take it to a UPS store and let them box and ship it to me.

Worth a shot. let me know what you think.

(Mods: this kind of gets close to some of the 3rd party selling rules, but thought with this particular situation it might be OK. just let me know if its not.)

Just saw this on Reddit. I would do it for you but I'm out of town that day. Now I'm sad I won't be here.

Right around the corner from me, good luck hope you get one.

Try local shipping store. They would definitely do for $100. My friend used to work for one and they were charging like $20-30 for local pickup + shipping material + shipping cost.

interesting, good idea. ill look into it.

Problem is if theres a line, they may not be willing to do it, but TBD they make a butt load off the packing part so they might be willing since you'd be paying through the nose.

Bump, if I were local I'd do it for free. This community is home and you guys are family. Sorry I can't help - good luck!

I’d love to buy one of the 1155 supermicro motherboards with ipmi that are in the v3 version of these, I’m hoping they show up on ebay cheap next month.

I'll be there, it's going to be a glorious day.
