"All Fluids Drained" can vary from 10% of fluid pumped out to axe induced hole.

Finally had a weekend to do a bit of work, and discovery that I'd mis-ordered some of the lines / fittings. Got the selector valve mounted, and most of the lines run. Just missing the one to the winch valve, and a fitting to connect the one from the pump.

It's not like when something goes stupid at a live auction the auctioneer doesn't do something to try and correct it, at times opening the bidding back up. But they hate it and it makes them look bad. Of course, the response to "I was trying to bid and you guys weren't seeing me." has been...

They had some issues with some "events" today. They extended them. I got an email. I imagine this is in response to the last time they had a week of servers all crashing 15 minutes before most auctions ended, and the people who realized that was going to happen winning easily because they bid...

The union of stupid amounts of tech money, interested in surplus trucks and willing to take the government auction risk is a pretty small set. The folks willing to spend the stupid amounts of money also want a turn key solution, or want a cheap project.

The last couple were north of 25K with fees. That's more than a shipping offset.

You can find photos from past GP auctions... They get a picture of some part of the fuel lines under their "Fuel Leaks" inspection.

Congrats

Or an ignore button so people who don't want to read those threads won't be forced to.

I think GP has a much higher likelihood of being told "Oh, never mind" when the cash comes due than the government presents to its suppliers.

Well, if this was an allowed discussion, it would be one heck of a urination match. Oh well.

70A load shedding ATS? That's not a small one.

Oh wait... GP is now selling tires w/o rims. Hmmm... I'm betting they got a scrap contract for them, and the tires w/ wheels will still show up on GL.

From what I've been told that's a separate contract, and which scrapper they go to (GL or other) depends if they have rims on them or not.

I think the scrap is denoted by something in the lot numbering. But I haven't read the rules that close.

The dude with that tow bar is stuck. He paid that for it in a bidding frenzy. (He may actually be in the hole @ current price). It's was on CL still today. He made it way easier for me to sell the NOS ones I had, though.

So, no better than GL with them... Someone will be along soon to tell the horror story of shipping a dozen tires from GL to find they all were sidewall blowouts.

I don't often recommend flowers. But flowers. Wow.

Less about slow, and more about record being "flagged" and finding out why takes time...

I've got some friends who have had... The opposite experience when it comes to some background checks. Delay... delay... delay...
