1971 Six Days Steel Tanker Auction

[marsattacks]

Anybody know what the bidding went up to last night?  The reserve must not have been met or perhaps it didn't attract any bids at the starting price.

John,
The Penton was nice. Well worth the $5500.00 reserve that it did not reach on Thursday evening. It did end up selling in the 2nd chance corral for $4800.00
 The seller would of had to pay $300.00 to enter the bike with a reserve and 9% of the sale price. After droping the reserve and making the sale, he would just pay the 9%.
 Someone got a very nice steeltanker for a good price, plus 10% buyer fee.
 I came home with no new bikes:-( But they had some great indoor short track racing fri and sat night.

Thanks Paul. That bike seemed really nice from the photos. That is a lot of money I guess it won't get ridden much. The results showed some really strong prices on successful sales--that Greeves Ranger fetched 4800 whereas the owner had it on Craigslist forever @ 3800 with no luck. That BSA old school street tracker was cool and a bargain. The Honda Dakar bike fetched huge money (18k?). Thanks again, John
