Bob this was posted here once before. Wouldn't you like to have wheel barrel full of funds. But buyer should be ready as every rubber item on them will have to be replaced.

None of these will ever even be washed. Very cool, but an expensive garage art piece for sure.

Rubber is cheap. Should be good to watch.

Bob,
Got an email about the old man that owned the dealership, said when he sold a new car and took a trade in, he would take the trade in and park it on the farm. Some kind of business strategy, i guess caused a shortage of used cars. Over 500 of them! Should be a very cool auction…...

Thanks Mike,I'm familiar with that.
My initial question was to them about their replies and what I should lookout for.

There was a thread on here if you search for it, Vanderbrink did an auction in MN about 1-2 years ago and many bidders were not happy with how it was run. Many high dollar signs and they were screwed to the wall up high with no idea of condition or if it was 1 or 2 sided. Removal of these signs was also a hassle as I recall. I don't think there were any issues of fraud or misrepresentation that I was aware of. Just that they really didn't know what they were dealing with (many 5 figure porcelain neon signs) that weren't well presented for bidders and weren't very accommodating after the sale. Again, I am working from memory here so please try to find the old thread and maybe someone else can add to this. Hope this helps. I don't know if they have any idea what a zoo it's going to be up there with all the sight seeing non bidders joining those who do want to buy smile

I was at the Minnesota auction and it was the most disorganized mess I've ever been to. When you have to stop the auction and decide whether or not you sold the sign previously, well then its a mess!

I may attend just to experience the theater of this auction now,based on your inputs.
Might be best to sit on my money for now,but I'll bring popcorn.
