No, Rick, I didn't. Shame on me. I told my wife I didn't spend $1,000, but I did spend $970. Some of the stuff went for a good price but other things didn't. Someone bought a lot of the frames for about $600 a frame which I thought was a bit high. But I came away with some good deals.

Post by: Ricks on October 27, 2019, 05:42:18 PM: Frames are usually available in the $250-300 range. There is no way I would pay anywhere near $600 for one. That auction allowed online bidding on the 3 complete bikes they sold, but none of the parts. If it wasn’t a 10 hour drive back to Ohio after just getting home the weekend before for Portland, I would have went.

Did you know any of the other buyers? Was Jim Or Ernie there?

Post by: cotton on October 27, 2019, 06:21:03 PM: No, I did not recognize any of the other buyers. Jim was not there, and I don't believe I've ever met Ernie. The guy that bought most of the frames was a local, I believe, just because of the truck that he picked them up with. As you probably already know, the restored 1940's went for $1,700. The 1957 all original went for $3,600. I picked up a complete non-running motor for $190. I'm sure if you would have been there you would have taken home some treasures.
