Re: GOOD NIGHT NURSE! -- SALE OF ALL SALES

What's funny is...most folks into old bikes look at those photos and think...I bet all the nice shiny ones are all gone.

The crowd from this forum is thinking...man..LOOK AT ALL THAT PATINA! :lol: :lol:

Rat Rodders have a clear advantage here. :wink:

Those statements ring so true !
Long live the rat!!

Re: GOOD NIGHT NURSE! -- SALE OF ALL SALES

Wow, so many nice scores, and at reasonable prices too.
I would have loved to have been there.
I like the idea of 2 bikes at a time. It prevents hogging.

I loved seeing the guy in the first video walking by with about 10 sets of apes on his back. Way cool!!!

Re: GOOD NIGHT NURSE! -- SALE OF ALL SALES

Anybody see what the Manta Rays sold for? And all the Stingrays?

 

[SCHWINNRAY69]

Re: GOOD NIGHT NURSE! -- SALE OF ALL SALES

From seeing a tag in a picture, I think it said that the Apple Krate was $185

Re: GOOD NIGHT NURSE! -- SALE OF ALL SALES

I saw a white pearl manta ray for $400 bucks, didn't see the other ones. Stingrays $60-400, lots of $60-100 bikes

Re: GOOD NIGHT NURSE! -- SALE OF ALL SALES

I think me an tuga were the worst ones to be at this event.

We've both had so many stinkin' bikes come through our hands that nothing excites us anymore. :lol:

You really had to watch yourself because it was easy to buy a bunch of stuff which seemed like a good deal, but in reality, it would either require a bunch of work or lots more money thrown at it to make it worth while.

I just dropped a big chunk of change on these shirts I just ordered so it was easy to control myself. :lol:

Re: GOOD NIGHT NURSE! -- SALE OF ALL SALES

I am sure that the t-shirt investment wil pay off. Now that I saw the blue, I might even get two.

Re: GOOD NIGHT NURSE! -- SALE OF ALL SALES

So true haha, there was a couple of these one complete and one missing some parts for $20 bucks and I left them there :shock:

 

[Rat Rod]

Re: GOOD NIGHT NURSE! -- SALE OF ALL SALES

I saw someone carrying one of those out too.

The one that I sort of regret not buying was the coppertone Fastback up on the bike stand.

It was missing the seat and the rear wheel, but everything else was there and in fairly nice shape and they wanted $100 for it.

I know I could have sold the 5 speed shifter for that much.

Re: GOOD NIGHT NURSE! -- SALE OF ALL SALES

What's also bad is sitting here this evening thinking about the bikes that I saw that I passed on that were cheap! :?

Re: GOOD NIGHT NURSE! -- SALE OF ALL SALES

I heard that ATM down the street calling, but I was able to resist, resist, resist... probably cost me quite a bit of opportunity!

Oh well, water under that bridge!

I walked away with $4.00 and can't believe that I left at least 2 zip loc bags of parts, that I could have had.... dumb!

I seriously considered the Wienermobile for $60, but then I figured I'd hate to ship it and i think I've seen them sell for $100.
