Can pick up and have a right good gander. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3498#post-36562 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 15:11:54 +0000 wingpig 36562@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Hmm. Wife-parents live in Ayrshire. Bike proven to fit in car. Do you get to closely physically inspect the wares prior to bidding to check for bends/cracks? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3498#post-36561 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 14:59:16 +0000 kaputnik 36561@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I was going to go when I found out it was in Dalry. Then I looked closer and it was Dalry, Ayrshire. So a bike from Edinburgh has to go all the way to Ayrshire to be sold, just to come back to Edinburgh. And I couldn't cycle out, in case I did buy one, then how could I get it home.</p> <p>Grumble, grumble. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3498#post-36556 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 14:46:03 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 36556@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yep. They're a laugh actually. You get every strata of society there, and CAN pick up a bargain. The amount of bikes is immense, mainly BSOs, but there can be some gems there (last time I was there I wound up bidding on a Dawes Super Galaxy) - though you WILL be bidding against other people who know their stuff. It's a nice compliment to your skills of recognition and pricing though. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3498#post-36550 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 14:06:07 +0000 steveo 36550@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Has any one ever been through to the police auctions out west? I keep meaning to go but never get round to it.</p> <p>Actually I think that's how i stumbled across chdot's blog and ultimately this place. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3498#post-36526 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 11:54:44 +0000 chdot 36526@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/topstories/Police-sold-me-a-stolen.6808936.jp" rel="nofollow">http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/topstories/Police-sold-me-a-stolen.6808936.jp</a></p> <p>Mmm </p>
