I would have assumed that there was a discussion of this auction somewhere on the site, but I could not find it. I hope I am not breaking any rules by bringing this up.
The auction is online and being run by a company whose reviews make me uncomfortable in bidding from a distance. The local auction group may be fine, but there are challenges in figuring out how one will pick up any auction lots they may be the highest bidder on.
If there is anyone associated with this VCCA group who lives near the Lake Elmo, MN, location where the parts are who wants to make some $$ by picking up and arranging shipping for parts other members of this group may have purchased, it seems like a win-win to me.
I have just started working on a 1940 1/2 ton pickup project and see a number of items I would bid on if I could figure out how to pick up the items and get them back to my home.
If I were closer, I would just head over there on the 1st of April for the one day offered for inspecting the parts. Parts have to be picked up the day following the auction close between 10:am and 4:pm. But...it is a 17.5 hour trip from my home to the auction site.
