This is a VERY early, low-resolution, typo-filled, first proof of my auction brochure that will be printed over this weekend. My printing company e-mailed me these proofs and I'm up late making corrections and changes, but I thought I'd share them with you guys. We are mailing 26,000 of them out Monday, so a lot of you will be receiving them in the mail next week. This is about 1/2 of the items that are consigned, and trust me, I didn't put JUST the cherry stuff on the brochure, there are some amazing items not on here.

Brandon...I think all the pumps & stuff will be cheap on friday night?!?!? That's just me. But the stuff will sell regardless of price. I'm seriously considering selling 50+ unrestored pumps (some good, some junkers, some donors) and just letting them go for whatever. Also, going to sell groups of pump doors, 5-10 at a time.

Wow,
Looks and sounds good Seth. Are you going to sell the 50 pumps and lots of doors over the net. I have no way of making it but would love to bid on some. I can make shipping arrangements with my carrier.
Thanks, Phil

Sorry Phil...the friday night moving auction will be onsite only. There are a core group of guys that have been coming for most of the 10 years that always show up for the friday night reception at my shop and most are pump guys. I was going to have a seperate auction in the spring for pumps, doors, tops, parts, stuff, etc but I thought as a reward for those guys, I'd just have a mini auction on friday night with no buyer's premium & no internet to compete with. I can do this, because all of the stuff sold friday night belongs to me. Maybe you can get a buddy that's coming to call you and you can bid that way.

I have about 9 guys that are going to have me on phone and "pick this for me" bidding on the late night stuff.

Gee Travis...I though the smiley face would denote the sacrcasm. I never touched the flyers, they went straight from printing to a mailing house. They charge .05 per item to laser-jet the addresses, and put a sticky tab to hold it closed. It is well worth the money.
