GL ang GSA auctions

[eddiec]

I believe that it would be a good idea to have a place for members to be able to post remarks as to what they are bidding on. mainly so everyone else on the forum knows who they are about to bid against, as well as giving anyone who may be close to the vehicle, aq chance to check it out for that person, and let them know of the ACTUAL condition.

Great idea Eddie!

 

[FrankUSMC]

Yes, it is a great idea! Here at MCAS Cherry Point about a year ago GL had a rusted out 5 ton that was used on the beach (read salt water) to put boats in the water. It was in peices because the unit was at the time trying to replace all the rusted away parts with parts off other 5 tons. Even the fuel tank was rusted away. It came in to DRMO on a low boy and it took 3 forklefts to get it and it's remains off the trailer.The GL write up, with photos of the better areas of the truck was "truck was driven in under it's own power".
One of the few, Frank

There is already a forum for GL, DRMO, and GSA inspection/loadout.
I have mixed feelings on announcing to the World whats for sale at auction, it's not just the memebers that view the posts, it's the whole net!
I have the same thought's with things on ebay, those who are looking usally know when things are up for auction, and I for one prefer to keep things quite Just my

How about it being a 'members only' forum? Where you must be logged in to see it?

bidding against each other does suck!

 

[Desert Rat]

Mang,

That's just the ticket right there!!!! We need a secure area to talk about these things without the whole world knowing. I nominate Mangus580 to head up the team to create that forum!!!!!!

 

[da_sgt]

That would be the way to go!

GL $1,535 so far for a M35 "Tx Killeen" body looks nice and strait.
Ends 21th.
6,412 miles on it

I agree, I ended up bidding against Kenny on a towbar before I fiured out it was Kenny, kinda made me feel like a "sniper". Do not like to bid against my "bro's'. Of course that was Ebay, which is kinda a free for all anyway...but its a good idea...

I want to tell you all right now. I bid on anything that has m35a2, M35, military truck, m109, m44, in the title or description. I also bid on anything on GL or GSA meeting the above criteria. It just happens that all you other guys usually beat me out.

 

[m.walker]

I second the motion , all those in favor say I , motion granted the I's have it !!!!

 

[lovebloodhounds]

I also agree being i am lookig myself!!

 

[vtdeucedriver]

I think some guy or guys are going to be suprised. The Vt auction on GL just finnished. I will admit, I did some bidding on one because it is in my back yard......but they went for crazy prices!!!! I got a feeling that this will turn up soon..........2 of them were really rotted, had patches opon patches......and one of them did not run, the other that did run had no brakes.........its funny that the pics from GL showed none of the rot that the cabs had..........somone may be suprised!!!

GL, GSA bidding

Hello all, My feeling is that DRMO used to post all bidder's names,addresses, and bidder #'s for each item bid on. It was public information. Now, this stuff GL is selling is also public property, paid for by us. I don't think it is wrong to let all the members of this list know who we are bidding against. Could each member list his GL bidder # as public info on this forum as a matter of conversation and then we could do what we want with the info. I am willing to post my # to start it off. JT

 

[eddiec]

it's not that i want to see what everyone is bidding on. i just don't want to jack the price up on one of you guys. if i know that one of you is already bidding, i won't touch it. that was my only reason for the suggestion. just don't want to tick anyone off by outbidding them.

Ditto on that, I just got done bidding on some trucks off of GL. There was one close to me up at Fort Carson CO. I quit bidding because I figured someone on here was bidding on it.

I am all for a private forum for bidding on these auctions

are52,
I wish I had bid on that truck!!! I looked at it last week, it nice for $2,282.58

 

[area52]

Ktm380 - did it go for $2282? Man that was pretty good if it ran.

Drop me a line if you get down to New Mexico sometime.

 

[ktm380]

Yes it ran, just had to jump start it. I think another will be coming up for auction soon, they would not let me look at it yet.

Mang.,

We really need to have a members-only area to share the info and counter what GL is attempting to do! I don't know how to do it, but I'm sure you do!
