i did the same on some stuff i was after but i noticed Claremont coming up on tons of other stuff and looking at some of the numbers i was seeing it was pointless. He was making a power move on powerquest lol. Really thought the whole thing was crazy when i saw an $89 dollar harbor freight buffer go to him for $506

will be interesting to see how the whole thing shakes out seems that the bulk of the factory went to one party and the molds to another. . . . . . really interesting

Anyone know what happened to Octavian-(47' Apache)? I don't see it listed in the auction now -- it was before...

Doubtful. Claremont ran EVERYTHING up beyond what any sane person would pay. If he ran it up near retail then dumped it on somebody then sure.

I can just imagine all the theories on claremont. As I mentioned, there was an investment firm out of NJ with the name Claremont. Could be them????

I could just imagine an intern walking in today to proudly proclaim he won every auction for $275k...oh and wisely avoided those junky mold things

Look on his bosses face would be classic!!! Anyways be curious to see what really went down. may have to call the lender to get the scoop AND my congratulations if these were actually real bidders!!!!!
