Sure thing.

The guns are all pure garbage better suited for use as tomato stakes.

None of the bikes run and they are all filled with phase separated, crystalline ethanol.

The tools are a mix of crap and Chinese made crap.

The cars have all been smoked in and smell like the carpet of the worst dive bar on Freemont street.

Finally, all items have a completely unsubstantiated, stratospheric level reserve.

(Ask me how I know all this).

No, don't go, auction bad.......



Aw, crap. I made the mistake of clicking the link. Hell yeah you should go!! The Honda three wheeler, Honda Trail 70 (rode those all the time growing up--a friend had two).
I haven't even mentioned the Triumphs yet! Plus some interesting guns!

No guitars that I can see. If it were me, I'd pass.




You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

I worked for seven years at a well known firearms auction house. I've been to countless homes evaluating collections, cataloging guns, crawling around old-man filth to find guns, and breaking bad news to people that just because it is old doesn't mean its worth anything. I've also been to a hundred or more estate sales. Anything with a motor is typically seized / full of rodent shit and piss, or nasty gas from 10 years ago.

If you're into projects, head on out with a trailer! The Imperial would be worth your time if it's not rusted to hell and back. But those guns are all trash. You can see from the pics.

Yeah the Brit stuff could be pretty cool, for someone with good mechanic skills like you Paul.

Nothing like advice from an expert, thanks Rev.

I assumed all the tanks could have rust and any carbs would need rebuilt and I really don't need or want more stuff taking my time. Thinking could stumble on a good tool chest or tool at a good price, maybe a .22 for cheap, etc.

A Honda Trail 70! My mom and dad had a pair of those, red and blue.

Almost tempting. LOL

Trail 70 would make a nice little camper bike. Smile

Don't go, you'll probably end up buying something!!!!!! I'd recommend going if not just to look at all of the stuff that is there......there's lots of interesting stuff for just about any guys tastes.
