Auctions

Postby pHaT`eL » April 28th, 2008, 3:12 pm

Im about to start hitting up auctions in the hunt for a V8 EL/NL/DL but have no clue where to start. Wheres the best places to go? How do you know what will be up for auction? How do you go about bidding on a car you want?

Help would be great :)

yer as EFFalcon said just go down to fowles or pickles, I know viewing for fowles is on a tues and auctions are on weds, so just go down on weds and have a look see how it all works. it's pretty straight forward.

I have been to a heap of damaged and cheapie auctions over the past year or so. Both Fowles and Pickles.

In my opinion, eBay is the way to go. There has been so many roughish NF/NL's go for $1800-2500 recently its not funny. At least most of them are drivable and easy to get home. Im guessing you are looking for a conversion car?

At auctions, i have seen crashed ones (not drivable) go between $2-5k. God knows why?

Just need to be right time, right place. Its always when youre not looking they turn up tho!

I have pretended not to be looking now, using some reverse psychology. Still not working :(

Thats why I told Pete not to start looking until next month or so when he has enough cash, no doubt something will come up now when he aint ready.
