Posted By: Thunder II Divorce Auction - Wed Nov 18 2009 02:49 AM
If anybody is interested, in any part of my collection, please let me know. I need to auction off some stuff, to hire an attorney. I'll put it up for auction, no reserve. With everything going on, I cant handle shipping right now. I should be able to handle the small stuff, but the larger items, I might need you to make arrangements for those items. Please help me with this guys. I'll be posting some stuff, with a 48 hour auction time. I'll need immediate (sp?) payment, to keep my house, among other things.

Is there an attorney in the house????

Thunder,

Went through the same thing about 20 years ago, lost a lot of good petro stuff, came out of it with a different attitude, hang in there things will work out.

Post or email me with anything you have relating to air meters, even small parts, that is all I am buying at the present time.

I'll go 625.00 on the GB-96... To help save Thunder's Home..

Scott, can you fit this in your luggage for me next year @ I.G. I
will pay the x-tra carry on bag charges.....
Posted By: RARIN TO GO Re: Divorce Auction - Fri Nov 20 2009 12:15 AM
SODAMAMAK and anyone else interested in Jeff's items. I will deliver items to Iowa Gas next year free to anyone. Don't let the location keep you from bidding. Between all the Colorado collectors we can make arrangements for storage or delivery so don't let that stop you from bidding. Lets help Jeff. If I wasn't in the middle of a kitchen remodel I'd bid on that GB-96. I better go check the budget to see if I can squeeze something...

Made of pine, treated with linseed oil.

Thunder,

Hang in there, I'm sure most of the guys on this site will support you, either to help you or to purchase some nice items at a reasonable price.

I know what you are going through, we had to file bankruptcy this summer and we'll get through it also.

Posted By: Old Iron Re: Divorce Auction - Fri Nov 20 2009 03:50 PM
Hi Thunder,

The plains of Colo. covers a really lot of ground! If you don't mind saying, what town? Also, assuming immediate payment, would short term storage be a problem? You and I both know northern NM and Colo. can get "iffy" in the winter.
Posted By: Thunder II Re: Divorce Auction - Fri Nov 20 2009 05:31 PM
Old Iron. I'm about an hour, south east of Denver. And storage here would be no problem. There is a slight chance that I can get the stuff to NM. No promises though. Thanks. Now bid high, and bid often. LOL.
Posted By: Old Iron Re: Divorce Auction - Fri Nov 20 2009 10:05 PM
Hi Thunder,

You are getting into the two day range for me. If you can get the GB96C within one day range of me, Trinadad or south of that put me in at $1,000 on the pump. We can talk about other stuff.

Sorry bout your situation. I must just be lucky.
Posted By: Thunder II Re: Divorce Auction - Fri Nov 20 2009 11:43 PM
Old Iron. Raton for lunch? Springfield would be better. You and I can get some pics together at the Shell station there...

Sorry to hear about your predicament. I know it's really rough. Good luck to you!!

I'll go $100 plus shipping on lot #10. You can keep the box.

Paul
Posted By: Old Iron Re: Divorce Auction - Sat Nov 21 2009 02:28 PM
Hi Thunder and DuceCpe,

Thunder, Raton will be OK. My schedule is pretty tight for even a one day turnaround for awhile; I cannot do Raton until late Dec or early Jan. Please PM me with your phone number and mailing address. We can discuss it.

Duce Cpe, Hi Ric,
Your help would certainly simplify the situation and make it happen faster. I think you already have my phone number. If you lost it please PM me your phone number and I'll call you to discuss it. Or, if you prefer, just PM me and I'll PM my phone number to you.
