Huge vintage auction

Post by coxbros1 »

Not sure if I am allowed to post this, delete if necessary!
Stumbled upon this auction, I am in no way affiliated with it, just don't want anyone to miss out! I called the number, they are from New York, totally legit! They said they will put everything u buy in one box to keep shipping down...there is some epic vintage shit here!

I still don't understand/agree with the 15% additional fee for paying with a card, and 10% fee for paying cash/check/bank transfer.

Some nice stuff, but those additional fees seem harsh.

The 10% and 15% fee sounds like standard auction stuff. Bid on a car at Barrett Jackson for example and the buyer pays the auction fees on top of their bid price. eBay is just backwards from norm.

Same here. It just seems excessive to me, but there are a few things I want as well.

Thank you for posting it, a lot of great pieces here. Looks like there are plenty of key players in the game already as well

That’s impossible, I was told you need a sponsor to race.

Yep. And if I remember right, I think Barret Jackson as well as Mecum both charge a 25% fee :shock:

There's some cool stuff on there. Am I reading it correctly that all that stuff came from one hobby shop/track?? Thats insane they had that much vintage stuff on hand at one shop if so.

It was kind of cool cause u could never get sniped...every time u bid at the last few seconds it added 3 minutes...called a soft close...would do it continually till bidding stopped...obviously to get the auction company maximum profit, lol.
There is gonna be another auction coming up soon with more stuff from that shop

I didn't buy the Pro Race kit, but I did buy a few other small ticket items. No ship info yet.
