Its an auction. Its where many go to get rid of lemons. You will have a few decent ones. I have seen people there switching plug wires on triples to make them not run right so others who do not realize this do not bid so high. I have also seen testtosterone get the better of men in the bidding and they bid the sleds far beyond what they can be bought at a local persons house where you can actually ride it and see it really run. Its just a "I gotta win thing" Gets worse when the bidders eyeball each other instead of looking at what they are actually bidding on. Great for sellers though when that happens.
You can walk around and fire up sleds and listen to them but not ride them. But most are already warm from others doing so.
So its a basic auction. Many sellers have set bid limits and if it does not reach thier minium they do not have to sell. Some want a fortune for a sled you can buy for 500 bucks any day of the week. Its your time to drive there and sometimes you get lucky. Myself I prefer to find one I can really see run and ride it.
I did not see this but a friend did there. He saw some people look at a sled they wanted (he was looking at the one two over from them) once they saw it as what they were after and liked it they put something in the tank that made it run like shit then not run. So they got a killer deal on the auction and took it home and cleaned the carbs which they probably would do anyways. If you go to sell a sled have someone keep an eye on it if its a good runner so it stays that way for max bid for you.
