Liquidators?

[T. Cotten]

Its time, Folks.

Who can suggest the best to cash in a dust-covered hoard?

My priorities have been rearranged for me.

Thanks in advance,

Tom, this guy Kaplan runs the local museum in Rockville CT. He buys up whole collections. Never dealt with him personally. I told my wife if I pass away before her to call this guy and have it all cleaned out but keep the Indian.

Are you able to price things or are you in the what's it worth mode?
If the latter,an auction may best.

I need someone to take over, Tom...

Whether they want the whole "turn-key" operation, or just to pimp it all off.

Inventory, vintage hardware, tooling and machinery, and even the building.

Let the sharks start circling,

PS: It would actually take months of maintenance to make it "turn-key", but the corporation, four decades of licensing, and all they rest goes with it.

Generally, you'd want one of our midwestern auction houses used to liquidating businesses and farms.

For example: https://www.vanderbrinkauctions.com/auction-schedule/

Even when a vintage bike business IS turnkey; it's proving difficult for many "young" people to scrape up the $$ to buy the business; hence more are being auctioned than purchased as of late.

Word of warning. I had a tank for sale on our forum's For Sale section and got a response from a guy from California(or so he said). Everything seemed legit and he even sent a copy of his drivers license. Then before the sale he sent an email where he would send me a check for almost $2,000 and I was to keep an extra $100 plus the cost of the tank and the guy picking up the tank would get the extra money. That's when I blocked his email. He is his email. I tried attaching his DL but couldn't do it for some reason.

"I'm okay with the 1986 883 Sportster fuel tank for $300. Am located in Riverside, CA 92503. I have a reliable carrier who will come to your place for the pick up after payment. I will need your Full Name, Full Mailing Address and Cell Phone Number so as to send out payment on Monday."

What bearing does that have upon my question, PEM?

(You could have easily started another thread.)

First choice would be to sell the business intact, even if the return would suffer the most. Second choice would be to find someone to come onsite and continually list items, and take their healthy cut.

Third choice is to just lock the place up as a time capsule, as overhead is much less than storage units!

Well, that sounds ominus.
Hope you are well Tom.
