RE: Twin Cities Auction (Minnesota)
Wahpeton ND... my wife is from there. Small world. Ever go to the Detroit Lakes Mall show? I did last year and thought it was going to be a very few planes. It was huge, and free pizza for the people that brought planes. See you at the auction. Here is my Spacewalker. Also I should have a 100inch Sailplane. Still gathering things.

I'll be making the trip over from just south of Eau Claire Wi (little town called Osseo). I'm looking to step up from 40 size planes and looking for an Ultimate Bi plane should be fun

I've driven through Osseo many times.
I will be bringing a set of Robart 615 rotating retracts - complete NIB setup: Gear w/ 3/16" struts, Axles, tank, Air Valve, hoses, "T" fittings and 2 quick-disconnects
Everything you need to add rotating retracts to a 60 - 90-size P-40 or Corsair (Or whatever else has gear that fold back)

I'll be there...
I have what looks like a CAP that I bought last year. I bought it on an impulse near the end of the auction. Never should have bought it.
I think I'll sell it. I never did anything with it. Haven't even removed the tags from last year.
Looks in good shape. Just need to get a new seller's number.

Hey Guys,
I have been working with a few other members from TCRC to go through an estate for a widow. He was a hopeful hobby shop owner that never got to see his dream come to fruition. we have put together about 30 boxes of miscelaneous items that you would use for building (clevises, hinges, etc.) and will be selling them out in the main area, off of the auction for a fixed price (probably about 40% of what you would pay in a store). I'm also going to bring a couple of planes, but I don't have pictures - an old nexstar and a flybaby.
Wldhare, I have spent a night in Osseo, WI doing a little work at GFS. Incidentally, I am also an Osseo, MN graduate (also home of the Orioles :-)
Can't wait to see everyone at the auction. I'm looking forward to seeing Geoff's planes.

Another box is all parts and miscellaneous, and the last one is the handi-tote which has a charger and more. Also listing items on ebay that are still in their original packaging.

Just a reminder:
If you want to get the best price for your items, package them so the value is obvious.
If it looks like a box of junk, it will sell like a box of junk or not at all.
Make sure each item LOOKS more valuable than the minimum $20 opening bid.
