2019 anniversary support auction #2, a real surprise! - ezdays - 06-08-2019 2019 auction #2: HO scale Snow Plow and Tender---- Here's the surprise of a lifetime, remember the thread where our good friend Doctorwayne was showing us how he built these cars? Well, you didn't know at the time that he was doing it to present them at one of our Big Blue auctions. You can view the build right here, and we're posting a few pictures in this thread to keep you reminded of the awesome work that Wayne produces. We are pleased that he offered to do this for us and will certainly help to keep Big Blue running. This is a rare opportunity to own a treasured item built by one of the best modelers we have run across. Now, let’s get started. We are offering an HO snow plow and tender as shown in the build thread and in the photos below, to the highest bidder. Here are the bidding rules:
something back in return. RE: 2019 anniversary support auction #2, a real surprise! - Charlie B - 06-08-2019 I will start the bidding at 25 dollars Charlie RE: 2019 anniversary support auction #2, a real surprise! - ezdays - 06-08-2019 Nice opening bid, thank you Charlie. Anyone want to take these home? Let's hear $30, do I hear 30, I have 25, who'll give me 30?.... (we'd hire an auctioneer, but can't find one that will work as cheap as I do ) RE: 2019 anniversary support auction #2, a real surprise! - cn nutbar - 06-09-2019 Make it $50 RE: 2019 anniversary support auction #2, a real surprise! - ezdays - 06-09-2019 (06-09-2019, 05:53 AM)cn nutbar Wrote: Make it $50 Thank you kind sir, a generous bid indeed, but we all know this item would be appraised on the Antique Roadshow for much more than that, so, we've got $50, do I hear 60, who'll give me 60? I got 50, now looking for 60. (insert auctioneer's prattle here ) RE: 2019 anniversary support auction #2, a real surprise! - cn nutbar - 06-13-2019 No new bids ???

Maybe I should have done it in Big Blue's blue and white paint scheme, although a white plow in a snowstorm mighta been a bit of a problem....."Where's the rotary, Cletus?" "I dunno where she's at, Laszlo. I ain't seen 'er since it started snowin' and ablowin'."

Got to admit, what you did and how you did it is just perfect, just as long as Cletus and Laszlo aren't looking for it in the dark... I don't understand why there aren't more bids, these cars should be getting triple-digit bids with all the custom work by one of the best modelers around. Come on folks, let's get a bidding war going here..... RE: 2019 anniversary support auction #2, a real surprise! - bdw9535 - 06-13-2019 I will make it $65.00. Bruce RE: 2019 anniversary support auction #2, a real surprise! - ezdays - 06-13-2019 Thank you Bruce, a reasonable and fair bid.... anyone else out there that thinks these cars are worth bidding on? They are indeed, what they call, "one off", why "one off" is beyond my comprehension, but I'll go along with that, there is, and will never be another pair like this. And remember, they are the handiwork of none other than our own Doctorwayne.... I've got 65, do I hear 75? 65 looking for 75, 75, 75, looking for 75.... you there in the back row, were you scratching you nose or bidding?????
