I will post a link to the on line auction when it becomes available.   Mark P.S. Not my stuff, I am helping a lady recently widowed, her late husband (John Higby) had a stroke and passed away. I am trying to get some information out to folks that may be interested. |

I don't think anyone here knew it was up for auction. Was waiting for a link to be posted... I knew it about it. Mark had posted links to the Auction in the Homelite section of Arboristsite. Auction items were pick up only, no shipping. I did bid and win a few items, didn't win on some other items. Mark is even nice enough to pick up my stuff till I make arrangements with him to get them. I would have bid on that pump if I had known I wouldn't have won the other items, but that's the way it goes. Auction was in the morning/early afternoon when I normally sleeping, so I but bids in after work and left it at that, but at least I can join the XL-15 club now! (one of my won items) |

Wow, those are great items, all of them. I looked at the auction and cried a bit cause I had no way to get anything I might have got. I am completely convinced that the low prices are due to no shipping, good for the bidders, not so great for the widow. I would think that the auction company would catch on, they are on commission and they could get a piece of the shipping too if they offered it. It would require a "shipping department" but it would get them additional income on a higher sale price...

It seemed that the more shippable items ended being purchased online and also brought more money. I lost the bid on some very old Homelite, Power Products, Briggs & Stratton dealer signs to online bidders. The lighted Homelite sign that I won would have been fragile to ship and that is why I think I won it. The Disston weights over 100 lbs. so that made it not as desireable to online bidders. This auction does have a shipping service that they provide. |

What auction site was this? I'm guessing not eBay.
