Chairs in place, people assembling. Auction not started yet

while you are waiting for the Auction to begin, here is a 14 minute walk-thru of the auction that I shot around 6pm on the Preview Day before all the chairs were installed:

I deleted the embedded YouTube link, try this one instead:

Microcar Museum Auction Walk-thru

22.45

I think I am done catching up on PREVIEW Day now. Time to go to bed.

Auction Day #1 starts tomorrow (Friday) at around 10am. The actual bidding won’t start until a little after 10 as they have some announcements to make and formalities.  I will try to get results up as soon as they are available and as technology permits me.

Good Night!

Its hard to take a pic of it, but this is the tent that covers the entire Museum Parking Lot.
Right now there are a bunch of cars in it to make room for more people in the building. Later tonight (probably going on right now) MORE cars will be moved out of the building into the Tent to accommodate the roughly 1000 chairs that have to be set up for Registered Bidders.
Will try and get you you some images of that in the morning.

There are some bargains to be had here. Where else will you find Messerschmitts in the Trash Can?
I think – with some work- I can make one decent Mold-A-Rama Kr200 out of these three.

Well, we’re in. But they shut off the wifi connection that I was told I could use, so it may take a bit before I can upload pics.
