Wollard Estate Auction - Simplex Servi-Cycles, Parts, Memoribilia

[Red]

yeah I was telling the guy on the phone that it would have been nice to know that I didnt win those lots because being on a budget it would have allowed me to bid on other items I wanted but I thought I reached my limit

[Red]

but then I gave up talking and just paid realizing he really didnt care 

[Freedom Auctions]

To clear the air for all the complainers...

We do care and do work hard to please everyone but you know how that saying ends...

There were of few lots, 6 at most, where the auctioneer awarded the bid to the floor and the online clerk awarded the bid to the internet in error.  It is a mistake.  No one is trying to "screw anybody" out of their lots.  It was a clerical error, that is it and that is all.  

Keep it real guys.

 I was at the auction this past saturday . Thanks to the Wollard family and Freedom Auctions for the oppurtunity . I understand your in the business to make a buck and do the best for the executors of the estates .  There was a large amount of lots and many bidders on site , as well as the online bidders . My thoughts dont much matter and its a moot point at this time , but . I feel there was more then a plenty from each estate that they could have been done on seperate occasions .

Just received my package from the auction.  All looks to be in order.  I did notice a few of the lots I had proxies on were awarded to the onsite bidder.  I was glad to have a chance at the stuff in the first place as I wasn't planning on a trip to Florida!  I got a package of photos.  Some of which Gary used in his book.  Also have some great brochures and manuals. I will be checking it all over more thoroughly later but noticed some drawings of the forks that may clear up some questions that have popped up lately about the nuts at the top. Lots of exploded views including that of the stoplight switch.  So stay tuned.....I'll be posting!

Nice!  I'm waiting on mine, but with the blizzard we had, mail has been delayed!

[OnaWingandaPrayer]

 and here I thought the only thing that stops the mail ,is a national holiday .   or is it just Saturdays ?

[Red]

Was it sent thru post office or UPS?

[kartjockey]

Red,  it was post office,  priority mail.

[Red]

Well that will put me back till wed. or thursday with Mardi Gras this week

[Ricks]

Got my stuff today.  The restored seat I got was in great shape!  I also got a bunch of the smaller size drive belts.  I also have a stack of Gary's books, and some reproduction manuals and book of instructions.  The manuals and books will be for sale over in the classifieds.
