I bid on a M103a3 trailer at Columbus Ohio Depo and GL acknowledged my bid by email and the green color " You are highest bidder" GL screen

I had to help a friend and was off the computer when the auction closed today at 5:00pm. Now it is 5 hours later
I checked email - no "You have been OUTBID" or You have won or lost item X" I checked GL site and nothing comes up.
I tried searching all the ways I could for item. invoice, withdrawn item, alien abduction!!! How else can I search?????

You probably won. They close the auctions out at 5:00PM but don't award them until later in the night. If you where the high bidder you will get a notification email likely very soon. Don't panic until tomorrow AM.

Good Luck

Check your bid history. Then click on lot number.

Your bid history will state if you were the high bidder.

They don't always stop at 5:00pm either . I won a truck at 6:15pm. They keep adding 15 minutes every time someone bids right at quitting time.

They award the lots at Midnight eastern time. You can check you bid history to see if you where the high bidder.

THANKS GUYS GL must be slooooow today as item now shows up on bid history with me as high bidder.

I display gas engines at old engine shows and need a open trailer to mount an engine and a piston pump to circulate water through waterfalls, water wheels, and valves in a kid friendly exhibit.
A lot of exhibits are adults only and hands off to kids. I want to have valves and stuff like water guns, fountains so kids can do something fun and maybe learn something at the shows. 40 years ago an old fellow had a steam boiler powered water pump with waterwheels made with bike wheels with Vienna sausage cans for buckets powering fans and other whirly gigs. Get the idea ? Thanks Mark

You know those are HEAVY right? Not sure what you plan to pick it up with, but a half ton pickup is not really big enough to take that back to Va. Just a heads up.

Got the hauling covered by 1984 Chevy 1 ton 4x4 with standard transmission ,no problem pulling and stopping with a MKT trailer towed and a Hummer trailer in the truck's bed. I like slow and steady when I am towing and lots of time I avoid Interstates and use other routes which provides more scenic views, barns, sheds, and fields to look for old iron and the local Hot Dog and BBQ Shacks.

Thanks for the words of warning anyway. Mark
