I believe that is the Kruse museum. I heard that they were in trouble and starting to sell their collection off.

I may have to take a trip on the 8th!

there is alot of good stuff there.
the auction site lists the results of past auctions so we will see what people are willing to pay these days.

what are your guesses on the halftracks?

i would say 40k each for them.

Pretty good prices for stuff that didn't run or hasn't run in many years. The 200k halftrack didn't have a motor. Also add on 15% for the buyers premium.

I wasn't real happy Saturday when I had to work and couldn't go to the auction, but after seeing what things went for I feel much better.

BTW, if anyone wants to pay $95,000.00 plus 15% bp for a running M16A1, or $38,000.00 plus 15% bp for a running M3 call me, I may be able to set you up. I also know where there is a gorgeous M2 for sale.

Don, Goes back to the old saying....A fool and his money will soon be parted. But in this case it was 2 fools with big check books on each of the HT's.

Steve

Those "fools" are the same guys that just set the bar a little higher for HT sales.

To get to that # it took two "fools" that felt it worthy of that price. I thank them.

If the check for $104,500 was made out to you would you still think the same?
