if you are bidding on this it does have heat damage and is soft under skin in this area.

It's pretty frustrating being located so far from the auction site especially when being flat at work Monday and Tuesday means zero chance of being able to pickup. You'd think Lloyds would offer a pack and send service for the larger items, I'd be prepared to pay for that. But I guess it's no more frustrating than an interstate seller on SB buy and sell who advertises 'pick up only'. Limits their market somewhat I would have thought.

Anyway, good luck to those who are close enough to inspect and pick up, hope you get some bargains, just hope it doesn't impact too much on the Qld retailers.

Hi Chris I admire your determination.
Am I interpreting correctly that your going to make a quick trip from Melbourne to Gold coast return and then head back to WA.
Do you realise how far this is.?
As previously discussed Loyds are doing a dirty s scam by not provided more accurate pictures.
The condition of these items is a huge gamble for anyone not being able to view.
Anyway if it all lined up you would have plenty of customers between VIC NSW and WA. Including myself in Melbourne but I don't think I'm willing to take the huge risk on the condition of these items.
Anyway good luck and hope you get some cheap gear.

For the WA peeps if you have any friends/relatives in qld who could collect wa peoples goods and package up and drive to Gold coast airport or Brisbane airport I could get it freighted to Perth cheaply. Sorry small stuff only no boards.

Great Info thanks. Any others to stay away from?

FYI.

Im conflicted as I feel very sorry for Sam and Chris from the shop who's stock is going under the hammer. However hopefully WSS have had their claim paid out and are net neutral or close to. I feel sorry for them and the rest of the retailers who may not sell some gear as the market may be flooded by someone else's stock at literally fire-sale prices.I would hate for there to be no bricks n mortar shop here in Sydney (esp. as other citys and states seem to be able to support retail). But a bargain is a bargain, business is business. Im broke and unable to work at the moment so I can't take advantage of any of this, but if anyone (or any groups of Sydney siders) are interested I have time on my hands and if you pay for a van rental and fuel Id go pick up for the adventure.

For sure some sailors need to fill a gap in their quiver but is it really worth all the fuss if you don't really need it. Some of the gear is getting close to what you can buy locally.

Wait and see I guess

$1500 plus.

if in as-new condition, then that's still a good deal ... maybe the high bidder is a QLD guy that has inspected?

Did you bid on another speed board?

Yep, but don't really need it so will leave the others to it now it's getting over what I thought it is worth to me.
maybe just get a wetsuit

I had a look at the boards the other day and while I didn't look at every single board the ones I did look at (Fanatic Grip mainly) where toast. Yeah pun intended. They don't have fins and don't even have the vent plug in them and are covered in soot and crap. I could only guess at what has gotten into the board. I didn't see any there that I would even consider buying for the prices they are getting up to plus the action fee. I had a quick glance at the other boards walking past and most looked to be similar condition. On the other hand the fins, mast extensions and uni's etc look fine. Most are in original plastic packaging that wasn't even melted. They are also getting too close to what you would pay for a pristine item from a shop that hasn't been on fire by the time you pay the 22%. I'm not saying there's nothing there worth bidding on but geez I would be careful.
