The Able Auction ad prominently features Gibbs and Scotty products. Gibbs and Scotty are both unsecured creditors, and while both are owed tidy sums, they don’t even crack the top 20 list of creditors, featuring such names as Shimano and Gamakatsu.

I know 3 guys that will be lining up tonight after work.

Not even. I scored two 1106 electric downriggers for $350 each after tax. It was 50% off. The line up was huge. Good sale and glad I pulled the trigger.
