Crazy Cal station auction, whats it worth?
« on: July 10, 2024, 05:47:10 pm »
Id assume it goes for $30k+. Hopefully someone lucky gets it on the cheaper end. Im betting companies like Alltest are in the bid. Let us know if you mortgage the house or
sell the GTO to buy this lot of joy. Scary though if you cannot verify function.

bid price + 20% buyer's premium + 5% sales tax + crating cost + shipping cost

Wondering what it will go for as well...

A local company would charge $3000(up to $5k?) to crate this lot i think, based on only one quote i got on a much smaller lot. I was prepared to fly into Colorado from Detroit to pack and ship myself but the auction got silly. Im already over my head with my stuff.

  Yeas ago a friend of mine bought out a complete commercial cal lab at a local industrial auction and I helped him haul all of it to his warehouse. Later we found that every single piece of the TE was missing some critical Unobtainium bits inside!   It seems that the "Cal Lab" had used all of it for parts and sold off all of their good equipment sometime earlier (if they even owned away!) and reserved all of their crap for the auction and my friend being rather greedy bought all of it at what he thought was a good price! 

  Personally, I won't buy anything that I can't see work, except for a scrap price. And I wouldn't buy any Cal Equipment that I couldn't see working and that I couldn't check the performance of it ahead of time.   Just the added costs of the 20% premium, the sales tax and the shipping costs alone usually makes buying at online auctions prohibitively expensive IMO.
