Ye gods. Last weekend Flapz and I went to the RC plane auction and it was a bloody chit show! 😡👎
There was so much JUNK there and the rotten buggers spread it out so that if you wanted to bid on any of the good stuff… you had to wait for the crap to sell first! It was all smelly old farts there too…I was probly the second youngest guy there. All the geezers were rifling through the junk and pitched bidding wars broke out over boxes of balsa, screws, old monokote covering, junked engines… GAH! It made me want to scream and chimp out!
Flapz made a play for this beauty here:
Apparently the former owner passed away and it sold for $175.00! It was flawlessly built but Flapz lost it… he was looking down at his wallet, thinking he’d won the bid - and another bidder aced him out as he was counting out bills to pay for it. He was pretty pished but…it’s his own fault! The auctioneers were retarded old guys who favoured their buddies and you can’t let them get away with squat! One kid beside us saw what happened and when his heart throb came up - a big 35cc aerobat - he stood up and locked eyes with the auctioneer and duked it out with his competitor all the way. He didn’t sit down again until he was formally acknowledged as the winning bid either.
There were a few bargains to be had but you had to be on the ball to scoop them up. I’ve been to all kinds of auctions and I’d give that one two popcorn farts out of five…and that’s being generous!
