Looks like some deals to be had, but looks like they have a 15% buyers fee to keep in account though.
Yeah that's gonna chew up any "deals" on sleds. 15% then add another 11% for the taxes...... errrrrr mind you it's in berta, maybe just GST on the sale..

174's are staying reasonable though.

Can you elaborate? We are thinking of bidding on some pieces.
They are very good at adding fees to everything that they do. They make you pay to open a bidding account. Then both the seller and the buyer pay fees on each transaction. If you want to pay with a credit card add another 2-3%. I’m not sure if they add a fee if you e-transfer money but I’m sure they will. Contact them immediately after the auction for your bill or they will automatically charge the item to your credit card with the service charge added to it. Please be aware of this before you bid. In the end your good deal may not be as good as it looked.

If there is no buyer’s cap just remember that 15% on $10k is an extra $1500.

Thanks! We will take this all into consideration.

I can confirm that they will automatically charge your CC very quickly after the auction ends. They have your CC number from the account creation process, so don't think you can avoid this.

In them hills.
Those sled bids are already beyond what they are worth plus fees etc. Whoever is bidding on those sleds has no clue to current market....
There is one guy who has high bids in almost 10 different machines. WTF

Few boxes of 850 belts.......

And a couple lots of sled covers.
I'll throw someone $50 for a cover, can't make any of the pickup dates.
