BE sure to log on to the auctioneers site and follow their rules. You need a letter from your bank to use a check, or I think you can use cash

I go to alot of auctions. Mostly farm and equipment auctions. I am not a fan of buyers premium auctions. 10% seems steep for a buyer's premium. You have to keep that in the back of your mind when bidding. Not saying you may not find some serious deals there. Just my opinion.

I used to work upstairs from Grossman Inc when they were on Superior and 22nd yrs ago....a lot of their stuff was overpriced and you have to watch for damage...just my 2 cents....

I saw one of the old C-SEA members yesterday and he's going. He called and was told they had broken and discarded several tanks while moving them. I think if you are buying tanks or equipment you should look for hidden damage, and if the tank is still full of gravel, it might be wise to asume it will need to be resealed and possibly euro-braced.

most of the large "display" tanks, not the units to sell out of were damaged because of the floor that shifted. They all lost seal and had to be drained. Some poor unsuspecting person is going to buy these and be PO'd when they get home.

Maybe I should make sure my daughter's herp club friends know about this. They could care less if the tanks hold water.
