	Our local Snowmobile magazine had an Ad for this place in it. It's located in southern Michigan pretty close to Ohio and Indiana. You can see what the Quads and Sleds sold for and I was thinking about getting down there either this Spring or Fall. Just wondering if anyone has been, bought or sold anything there. http://www.snowmobileauction.com/ 1997 Indy Trail Touring 1998 Indy Trail 2007 Honda Rancher ES 4x4 Rating: -1 Quick Edit Edit Topic

	I was thinking about trying the auction but there is a 3% buyers fee on top of Mi 6%sales tax. 10% sellers fee. basicaly you are giving your old sled away and the buyer is still getting reemed. Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	I've been to a couple liquidation sales before, where the shop had gone out of business. Good deals can be had, but alot of the time dealers are there and they'll pay almost what they'd retail them for. So, you can get good deals and a bunch of well....not so good deals.

	I know a guy who has bought there last three sleds and a couple of quads at auction before. The thing with auctions is, you can't go every time and expect to see exactly what you want. They go to auctions several times a year, but only see something worth buying (at the price it's going for) once in a great while. If you can find one that doesn't allow dealers, then you're better off. Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	Quote originally posted by toomany If you can find one that doesn't allow dealers, then you're better off. Yup, I agree. If you go, don't get caught up in the heat of bidding....set a price you'll pay, and if it goes over that, bail. You can always overpay to get a sled...but then you didn't get a good deal.
