I was wondering if anybody from here will be at the auction sale in Nashwauk MN on the 20. They are selling a liquidator it says. Thanks

When I spoke with Heins at breakfast a few days ago he told me that he will attending that auction for the purpose of checking out the "Dator". It is not even certain that this sled is a Dator because the seller will not allow preinspection.

I knew there was a reason Kenny was on the move. He tried to throw me off with a trip to Ohio. I guess I will have to dig up more of the yard 2 jars of money isnt going to cut it. My wife thinks I am gardening.

Too risky from Indiana when there's no confirmation ( no pre inspection) that it's even a Dator.

By the looks of it, this might be an expensive day with more than one of us planning on bringing it home...... :think:

One less here...I spent last 4 days chasing 'eyes on Winni and had ideas of sticking around another day to stop by the auction. Too much interest for my budget and work calls. Good luck to all bidders!

Found a little more space after I added a set of pallet racks - stack 'em 3 high now. Milbank is only 2 weeks away. Let's hope I bring home more than just a headache :beers;

Any news from the brave souls who went chasing dator's in the north woods?

Word on the street is that the dator found a good home. :shifty: sounds like it wasn't cheap as I thought it may be the case. :boohoo:

I think you might have more than a headache after Milbank. :beers; :bonk:
