Wierd things happen in the world of GL I bid on a single axle semi van in Chambersburg and got a bid confirmation email. Went online this morning expecting an out bid or winning email and nothing. Log on and the trailer is gone. Anyone see this trailer headed out the door?

Sometimes they just get pulled for whatever reason. Sometimes they change the lot number, although they don't usually do that after the bidding has already begun...

I had the same thing happen at French Camp CA. Bid conformation came but when I looked on GL they were gone.
Keep checking though. The trailers I bid on reappeared after three months.

It is funny I saw an M1009 painted white that was on the sale I won our M1009. I found some other trailers and I am bidding on two in Aberdeen and one in Mechanicsburg hoping to get one out of the three. I saw one lube trailer like the one I got for 408.00 going for over 2K wow.

Anyone else see the goodies on this sale it is pretty good.

I arranged for a preview of a Duce last week at Tinker AFB. when I got out there I looked several times but the truck was gone. When I told the GL guy I don't think he believed me but when he took a look he about flipped. The description said that it started and ran. I told him I was really interested now since it obviously drives too....!!

GL ended up taking it off the web site.. Don't know what happened to it... Stolen, borrowed..?

Here is their reply that finally arrived about this.

Dear Customer:

Thank you for your email. If a lot was previously listed on the www.govliquidation.com website, but is no longer there, than the lot was removed from that particular event. Some common reasons for removing lots from an event are as follows:

* An error was discovered in the lot description and/or photos.
* The lot was moved to another event.
* The demil code on the item was changed by the Federal Government.
* The lot was required to be returned to the Federal Government.

By using our Advanced Search engine, you may be able to locate the item again. If the lot in questions cannot be found, please email our Customer Service Department at info@govliquidation.com with as much detail as possible concerning the item(s), and we may be to locate it for you.

Warmest Regards,

You forgot these three
* Employee at GL wanted that item for himself
* Employee at GL had friend who wanted the item
*GL determined that the bid was not high enough
LMMFAO...not at you of course
I have been to many Gov sales that same happended to me on items I wanted.
Either a No sale or they dissapeared the day of the auction.
Sucks I know but we are at thier Mercy

It really upset me because I had a confirmed bid on it and I got nothing from them in return after the confirmed bid email. So much for entering into a contract. My email stated that since I had a bid confirmation and no other outbid or withdrawn email from them I expected to be awarded the trailer....NOT according to them of course if we default we get banned they default and I get a form letter
