Hot Rods ANY HAMB MEMBERS GOING TO VANDERBRINK AUCTION PREVIEWS ON MAY 23/MAY 30 IN MINNESOTA

ANY HAMB MEMBERS GOING TO THE VANDERBRINK AUCTION PREVIEWS IN MAPLE PLAIN MN. ON MAY 23RD AND/OR THE MAY 30/31 PREVIEW IN STILLWATER MN. I'M ON EAST COAST AND INTERESTED IN BIDDING ON SEVERAL CARS. DESCRIPTIONS PROVIDED ON LINE ARE SO VAGUE AND QUESTIONS FORWARDED TO THE AUCTION CO. FOR MORE INFO. GO UNANSWERED. I'D BE GLAD TO REIMBURSE A KNOWLEDGEABLE HAMB MEMBER-GOING TO THE PREVIEWS- WITH A FOOD/DRINK/RESTAUANT GIFT CARD/GIFT CERTIFICATE ETC IF THEY COULD INSPECT A COUPLE OF CARS WHILE THEY WERE ON SITE. IT'S AMAZING TO ME HOW THE DESCRIPTIONS CAN BE SO VAGUE WHEN THEY DEPEND ON OUT OF STATE BIDDERS WITH THE ON LINE AUCTION PROCEDURES. POOR PICTURES AND NEVER A MENTION OF UNDERCARRIAGE-FLOORS-ROCKERS ETC. I'VE DONE THIS SEVERAL TIMES FOR CLUB MEMBERS WHO WANTED A SET OF "EYES' ON SOMETHING THAT WAS IN MY "BACKYARD' THANKS IN ADVANCE. BOUGHT A CAR YEARS AGO FROM A "REPUTABLE" ON LINE AUCTION CO. IN ILLINOIS. THEY HAD ONE OF THEIR 'EXPERT STAFF' DESCRIBE THE CAR IN A "WALKAROUND SESSION" WHILE I WAS ON THE PHONE. I BOUGHT THE CAR AND SHIPPED IT EAST-IT PROVED BE JUNK. WHEN IT ARRIVED IN VA. I DISCOVERED THE FLOORS WERE FULL OF PATCHES/POP RIVETSAND THE DOOR POST PILLARS WERE SO ROTTED YOU HAD TO PICK UP THE DOOR AND FORCE IT TO CLOSE. WHEN I CALLED THEM BACK THE GUY SAID 'WHAT DID YOU EXPECT ME TO DO-GET ON MY KNEES AND LOOK UNDERNEATH THE CAR?" THEY NEVER WOULD MAKE IT RIGHT. BAD EXPERIENCE. THANKS IN ADVANCE
