Being drowned in a sea of spam emails at the minute about buying government/police/HMCE auctions lists. Obviously I'm not going to pay these scammers but did get me wondering if these auctions do exist and if so where are they!?!?!?

They certainly do exist, I attend 2 on a regular basis.

Not going to post where they are though, as the more people that turn up, the less bargains there are to be had

On a cautionary note, don't believe the advertising that comes through on the fax regarding pricing.
I've been going to these auctions for over a year now, and I've never seen anything as cheap as they advertise.

Last one I went to, which was a vv long time ago there seemed to be an abundance of Landies which looked as if they had been dropped out the back of a Herc, chute failed to open then been clipped by a wayward tank.

Either that or the dash wiring was strewn everywhere inside and you just knew that they'd tried and tried to fix something, eventually said "oh bother me" or similar military expression and chopped it into the sales.

Such stuff went for silly money, presumably for spares.

Mind you the Mighty Antar Tank transporters were a snip. Can't imagine getting many arguments from Laguna shod reps at a 2 lanes into one scenario.
