Default just checked out auction

Hi,
I was there today. Most if not all the mv's were frame off or pretty intense restoration jobs. The M35 and M934 were okay as was the M37 and M43 but the last two still need work. I am not sure why the GM and Dodge cab and chassis were there. Maybe civvy trucks used by the army. The White(?) cab and chassis was nice. It was labelled as a refueller, but again some solid time working on the thing. The Brit stuff all came out of BATUS and was in rough shape. The guy did say he was keeping everything for future preservation, but he was not going to restore any of the items.
Inside the building there were many items labelled incorrectly and/or mismatched. The Garand and the No4. Mk1's were already high up in price as were some other items such as the practise bomb but oddly enough, not the Springfield. There is is a lovely Czech 7.92 mm Mauser and it is also starting to get expensive. Other items were also being bid up to a high price, and in my opinion, overpriced which irritated me as I was planning on bidding on them and this is only day one of the bidding. Since I am bidding on some of the mismatched and incorrectly labelled items, sorry, I can't tell you what they are.

Good luck to Arlon Bauer, who used to come on this forum once in a while. Arlon used to come around the Calgary show during setup, and would buy the unique items, and never dickered. I see one or two items in this auction that I previously owned.
The auction has gained good exposure through print media as well as social media. I must have had 5 different guys send me the link as well as a couple of the clubs I am affiliated with.

None of the bidding right now means anything, (aside from setting the bottom price) as the real bidding takes place in the last few minutes. And, unlike the auctions of yesteryear, you are not bidding against the 200 people who showed up, but you are bidding against anyone with a computer and an interest.


Damn covid, I used to really like going to a farm or equipment auction...the wife did too but she did not bring home the treasures like I did, but we did enjoy ourselves. It just isn't the same on the internet. It would seem the days of going to a good farm auction, having a hot dog and piece of pie while tapping your toe to the auctioneer's rhythm, are a thing of the past.

One of the shortcomings of these auctions can be the quality (or lack thereof) of the photos. As a result, lesser examples of an item will end up selling for the price of a higher example.

I also note errors in the descriptions, and as with so many of these auctions, the auction house are not experts in this particular field, and the descriptions by the owner get muddled by the auction house. This auction is particularly brief on the descriptions.

Anyway, I know where I will be sitting on Tuesday at 11 in the AM.

I had room, those Chevy's were good trucks with a lot of hard to find parts and while only in pictures they were a deal.

The CMPs did not go for much....most in the mid-$500 range. The real sleeper in the vehicles was the M116A2 trailer which sold for $350. Had I only been closer....


I bought about 5 lots. It would have been more if I was closer.
