Have you purchased a bike from a police auction? If so, what did you get? What kind of shape was it in?

I got this from a police garage sale. It's a Japanese Maruishi RX5. I don't know what year it is - it has Suntour derailleurs and six-speed freewheel, Sakae double cranks, Araya 700c wheels, Shimano brakes. It's in excellent shape - no rust. I just needed to adjust the brakes and derailleurs and lube. It also came with a 2 bike hitch rack - all for a wallet breaking 10 USD :D

Thanks, Ranger. I never read the General Cycling forum.
