Tim Keller Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 (edited) Richard G. Weis of Marion, NY, was a 50 year member of AACA and enjoyed his trip to Hershey, PA for the sale of his antique car parts every year since 1968.

RansomEli Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 (edited) Thanks for the notice. The format should give maximum exposure and maximum bids. I recommend also placing this notice in the General Discussion section, too. Edited September 18, 2018 by RansomEli (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RansomEli Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 (edited) I looked at the auction offerings - nothing I must have although there a few maybes. However, potential bidders should be aware of two facts: The buyer's premium is 16%. 10% auction fee plus 6% sales tax. The auction company will not ship anything to winning bidders. You must pick up your purchase at Manheim, PA. The auction company gives the name of two shipping companies who can package and ship for you, but they have no connection with the auction house. No estimates of what it will cost to ship are given. Item number 2 is a deal breaker for me. I won't be bidding. If you are going to have an online-only auction, then you should provide in-house shipping arrangements and cost estimates. Other online auction dealers do this.
