Now that the auction is closed, I can talk about this auction.

Closed last Friday, 4/1/10, sale 5114, lot 5851 in Richmond, VA.

I won this Blazer in a prior sale. When I went to pick it up and tried to start it, it cranked over less than 1 revolution and the engine went BANG... and wouldn't turn over any more. I really hate to bring up this unpleasantness, but it's better to know what you are going to find when you get there and be prepared than to get a surprise. GL then damaged the steering linkage and I filed a claim to void the sale.

With the prohibition of discussing future or ongoing auctions, I couldn't post this before. Maybe it'll be OK, but it sure sounded / acted like a hydrolocked motor that broke a rod to me.

Sorry. :-(

I don't think Richmond, in general, is a problem. I've had some very good experiences there - mostly in the past.
