Title: Evan Johnson (Kansas ) collection auction(s)
Post by: mvwcnews on July 29, 2018, 11:40:59 AM

( http://www.auctionspecialists.com/july_14.htm ) Aug. 11th auction at Newton, KS  -- I see no provision for absentee bidding.  The auctioneer's calendar has another sale listed for Sept. 3rd, with no further details at this point.
The link posted above  does not work --  try   ( http://www.auctionspecialists.com/calendar.htm ) and select the Aug. 11 listing.

Broke for me too, although a couple of the other ones opened, the two with tools would not.

I emailed the auction house they responded twice, first time to say that they would look into the problem and the second time to say it is fixed. I haven't tried again. They also said they will take absentee bids. Contact them for details on leaving bids.

You know it is a good auction when they have Plierenches in the mix.   Some huge alligator wrenches hanging from the rafter.

Looks like a good saw, and I am only 2+ hours away.
Just send me a pile of money, and I will buy you something pretty.

It does look like a good auction.  I would love to put in some absentee bids, but I have been spoiled by Bus' tool descriptions and pictures for the auctions at the Spring and Fall MVWC meets.  I guess I'll save my money for October...
