Coachworks, Ft Valley GA. Auction

[Wallace Craig]

Kurt, you need to look at the curreny edition of "Americas Freedom" which is the NRA official journal. They have a clock at page 57 that all good southerners should have. Purports to honor Robert E. Lee and the confederate battle flag; and the sime strike is a cannon that comes out like a Cukoo bird and fires a shot. Real hoot.

Coach owners were in the minority of bidders. I don't see how any of the BS that flys around on these sites would influence anybody to spend any money. No more than a visit to your web site would influence me to change my lifestyle. One guy that was there bought all the motors, a truck dealer or something. Scrap dealers were the big winners,along with Ceribus buying back stuff for pennies on the dollar, several outfits that work on Birds as well were in attendance, the single largest group I could identify were the EX-Employees they bought lots of tools and shop equipment. Also your incorrect in your assumption of 10 cents on retail. it was more like 10 cents on wholesale. USED WHOLESALE! It was a slaughter for the bank make no mistake this was an absolute auction, no minimums or reserves if you bid a $1 and none else upped the price for that lot number you got it for a buck, highest dollar won. The auctionieers knew nothing about this buisness they just pushed stuff into piles and assigned a lot number you bid on the lot. I missed out on a lot at the very end that had over 20 Allision Control Pads in it along with some other garbage it sold for $125.00 I believe youd be getting down to tenths of a penny on the dollar on that one. Plain and simple it was a court order public auction to liquidat the assets of a company that screwed up. I do feel as though in your post your somehow blaming the guys who are coach owners that went as being somehow responsible for the demise of whatever it is were guilty of. Coachworks was the entity that went bankrupt. Can you say CCW and Friends????? What does it matter anyways? No one will ever do what The Luce family and the people of Bluebird Wanderlodge did again in their haydays, 2 finished coaches a week?????!!!!!???? I won't live to see that again. Don't blame me. I went there and tried to do what I could. Somebody had more money than I was willing to spend to save what I couldn't. I will reitterate it was an auction not a sale. Don't blame the guys that went to save what couldn't be saved! > > --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, Ernie Ekberg wrote: > > > > I received that flyer, also.

I received a flyer directly from the auction house (I presume because I was a member of the BB Chapter of FMCA). The auction house probably also contacted all other potential bidders they might have identified. This is what auction houses do -- their job and their commissions depend on getting the highest (best) prices for the offered materials as can be arranged. They will advertise and promote the auction to as many people as is possible. > > > > > > The creditors can (and probably did) set opening bid prices and may have had reserve prices (minimum acceptable bid) on many of the items. I doubt that talk on WOG or anywhere else had any impact on the number or quality of bidders at the auction. > > > > > > > > > > Pete Masterson > > (former) '95 Blue Bird Wanderlodge WBDA 42 > > El Sobrante CA > > aeonix1@mac. com > > > > > > > > > > > > On Oct 21, 2009, at 8:54 AM, Don Bradner wrote: > > > > > > That is simply ridiculous.
