It

I wouldn't tell the "collectors" over here about that. They will be bidding and driving the price up. Won't matter if it is in another country or not and they don't have the least idea on how to get it home or if it's legal to have. Wayne

RE: Re: RE: Today I bid by phone

They never called me, but I showed up for a pickup after the bids closed and asked the gal in charge, what about the stuff that didn't sell? She said make a offer so we walked though and she pointed out the items that didn't sell I then offer 5.00 each for the ones I wanted, She cleared it with the higher-ups at Levy-Latham. Next time I showed up I asked where she was and the new crew said she got fired for it.
Wasn't Levy-Latham and G/L the same outfit, just the name was changed? Best I remember Levy-Latham was in AZ. too. Wayne

Not a problem to buy but in the US. there are strict rules about the lights and most states require a sticker to have them mounted on a vehicle. Wayne
