Mike, Wayne called me today.  He bought a ton of stuff, which is good for all of us, as he is not a hoarder, and will make stuff available.  Maybe he will come across that registry.  He also recently spoke with Pat, and he may reenter the simplex realm.

Rick,  Adam gave my a notebook with notes that Gary had made per individual engine repair/upgrade.  It may also have some notes about this registry.  I am headed out of town in the early morning, but I'll look in that notebook tonight to see if a registry is noted.  Mike

I have reviewed the notebook, and there is no registry included.  Mike

Soooooo,who else got screwed on their invoice? They left out 2 lots that I had won and one was a motor and when I called he said the auctioneer had made a mistake and awarded lots to internet when actually the onsite bidder won and there is nothing they could do about it >:(

Mine got invoiced correctly.  I won 10 lots.  Just trying to get them to call me back so I can get the stuff shipped.

A VERY SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL WHO ATTENDED OR PARTICIPATED IN THE WOLLARD ESTATE AUCTION.   IT WAS WELL ATTENDED AND ESTIMATED THAT THERE WERE OVER 1,000 PARTICIPANTS BOTH ONSITE OR ONLINE.

THE BEAUTY OF THE AUCTION BUSINESS IS THAT ALL SPECULATION ABOUT THE VALUE OF AN ITEM GOES AWAY WHEN WE SELL SOMETHING.  THE MARKET TELLS US EXACTLY WHAT IT IS WORTH BASED UPON A WILLING BUYER AND SELLER.

THE AUCTION AT TIMES HAD A "REUNION" FEEL AS WE HEARD OF MANY STORIES SWAPPED AND SOME SIMPLEX SCHOOLING TOO.

THANKS TO THOSE WHO PURCHASED ITEMS AND FOR YOUR PATIENCE WHILE WAITING ON AN INVOICE.  AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, THERE HAS BEEN MUCH TO RECONCILE.  IN ADDITION TO THE 300 SIMPLEX LOTS, THERE WERE ANOTHER 500+ LOTS OF CARS, TOOLS AND MEMORABILIA SOLD.

AUCTION RESULTS WILL BE PUBLISHED TO OUR WEBSITE SOON AND WE WILL ALSO POST THE LINK HERE.

WE ARE PROUD TO REPORT THAT A MUSEUM CURATOR HAS SECURED A FEW BIKES FOR THEIR COLLECTION AND THIS MATERIAL WILL BE ON DISPLAY FOR THOUSANDS TO VIEW AND APPRECIATE FOR YEARS TO COME.

Well, my order got screwed up also.  They gave my flywheels to someone else!  I told them I didn't want the backing plates, since I didn't get the flywheels, and they said no problem and took them off the invoice.  My other stuff should be here sometime next week.
