Don't be so down on the reatilers. They bid the max they are willing to pay as well. Dealing with GL is a PITA. That adds to the retail price of the truck. Getting it inspected adds to the cost. Getting it transported, shipped, driven, however it is LEGALLY and safely removed from the lot...

The only person who gets hurt by someone winning and then defaulting is the guy in second place. Everyone else already had a losing bid and I'm sure they aren't upset about getting another chance. When trucks are relisted they are returned to the cheapest place to buy them. Once they enter the...

I don't want a bunch of extra steps in the process. GL is already a PITA. By the time I got preapproved under your plan the auction would be over. Also, in your example auction there are several reasons they came back up for bid. Maybe his EUCs got denied. If it is as you suspect he was either...

I just bid the max I wanted to pay for EACH truck that I bid on. My bid is a CONTRACT (says so in bold at GL) and I will suffer greatly if I don't honor my bid. I pick the price I'm willing to pay and then bid it, knowing full well that I might win each and every truck I bid on. I also may...

I can EASILY get a line of credit to handle that and WIRE them the money. I'll take 240 trucks for 200 grand. Seems like a money maker to me. What would REALLY keep the truck prices down is if NOBODY bid but me. That would be a lot better, huh? Just bid what you can your budget allows...

I bid on a ton of trucks just to see the ending price. And if I had won for what I bid i would have been a HAPPY man indeed...........................

Hmmmmmm Maybe for my NEXT deuce? :)

Well the biggest hurdle is cleared - my wife likes the idea cuz I told her it would "Probably" be cheaper than bobing it. Which might be true. I mean if you factor in I need to buy ANOTHER truck to bob after I finsih my sportsbar M109, then it's true. :)

I'm trying to decide what to do with my M109. I already own a nice camper that quickly slides in the back of my 2008 GMC. I don't need another camper. I don't need a mission control center, a suplly office or a mobile maintenance shop. I'm thinking about putting in a sportsbar/game room or...

Won my auction on the 12th. Submitted paperwork on the 13th. Checked on the 18th via live chat was asked to resubmit everything. Did so same day and was told via live chat it was received and would be forwarded to someone handling my sale. Notified on the 21st revisions needed. Emailed the...

PM sent.................

After seeing the video I no longer want the deuce I won on GL. If THAT is all a deuce can do, I think I'll sell off the one waiting in EUC hell and try for a 5 ton or larger. :)

No wonder you bought a deuce and a GenSet. Next time the ole Cedar River starts rising, you'll be ready!

Thought you were all over this one Rat? Weren't you gonna snag it and tell the wife you "accidently" won it? It worked last time. :)

Just curious - what was your tow vehicle? Seems like a lot of weight to stop without trailer brakes if using a civie rig. How did you rig the extra pintle? Any pics?

Well there's no requirement for me to have a heater or drive in the white stuff.:-P Besides, living so close to Miramar, Camp Pendleton, 29 Palms and Barstow the CHP is used to seeing deuces roll down the 15 in the slow lane. I'll just get a sign that says "Convoy End". They'll think I'm...

Bro - um, F.U. If you need further amplication, call me. :)

I think the IMPORTANT thing to remember is I got a good laugh out of it! And you can't put a price on that!

FOUR WEEKS? Oh gawd. I'm not even done waiting two weeks yet!! Maybe I need to schedule another visit. :)

You're not biased - it IS a great looking truck!
