Actually most items go for a lot more then you think because of people getting into bidding war.Also more people are attending these with the same mindset,Im not saying you cant get a good deal if your a smart bidder but most people are not :)

I;m like the 2 guys on TV- I set a budget and stick yo it, but man, have I gotten some smokin' deals playing my cards the right way. I'm mostly looking for accessories for the HMS Barbi, my 12 foot inflatable toy.















Boat ;D

I went and viewed some of the items - particulary the inflatables. Then I registered online and was surprised at the bids that were already in place in advance of the auction.

I'm going to follow it online, but will be surprised if there are many smoking deals on boats.

I'm registered online and have been bidding 25 bucks on some items starting bids. They don't even show up on the bids. No many good deals that I've seen. Going to keep trying.

A major marine store must sign a contract to come in before and get first pick. I went to check out a bunch of stuff that I saw in the pics and it wasn't even there...

Looks like the inflatable boats went close to retail.

Meh, I would rather buy one in the states and avoid the hassle/stress of bidding.  And perhaps not getting the exact one that I would have wanted.
