Copake auction on 4/20

Couldn't resist dropping a link: https://www.liveauctioneers.com/catal...-auction/page1

Plenty of C&V goodness coming available, as the Pedaling History Museum is liquidating it's collection(including one of my favorite waterbikes).
Similar to lot 107
Lots & lots of nice old history here!

that's a nice collection, but I wonder if there's a sad story behind the liquidation of this collection.

I think the museum may have proved too costly for the aging proprietors who've accumulated all these fantastic items to maintain. Shame it couldn't be bought out & maintained by another interested party. It would appear a lot of love and time has gone into preservation & restoration throughout the years. There's a hundred year old complete Pierce bicycle in it's factory crate still!

The auction is live/online for prospective bidders, though I'm not sure how effective this format is(have no personal experience with them to relate).

When you put in an internet bid, do they make your maximum the amount to beat ("We have a internet bid of $500, who will beat that?") or do they just keep bidding against the live bidders as if you there up to your max?

Their 18% buyer's premium is making Ebay seem like a bargain.

(at the risk of thread crapping...) you must have missed all the very cool old 19th and early 20th century machines.
nice Italian bikes are a dime-a-dozen by comparison
