Buying from gov auctions is no big deal, just make sure you print out all of the paperwork, and take it with you. The paperwork will have a address, phone numbers, and date and time of pickup on it. It's been a while, but I believe that I had to call, and confirm that I would be there. Before I went, however, I was warned to follow all direction EXACTLY. Don't try to take any short cuts while driving across base, or you will run afoul of the MP's. I bought 2 Cummins 4B engines out of Ohio, I took everything I thought I would need to load them,and it turned out that they were in a warehouse that I wasn't allowed to enter. They took a fork lift and loaded them onto my trailer, and even helped me center them over the axles. All I had to do was strap them so they wouldn't move, and drive several hundred miles back home. Those engines were listed as used, but when I got them, they were fresh factory rebuilds, with 0 hours on them. I've also bought some tents from Georgia, that came in 2 large wooden crates 4'x4'x8'. They brought them out to me on a fork lift, and the driver picked them up level with my truck, and helped me slide each one into the back A day later, and I was at home trying to figure out how to get them OUT of the truck. Turns out that the limb of the old oak tree outside was enough to lift each one, and let me drive out from under them. Moving them into the shop, was considerably harder. Calling my niece, and her husband, and watching them try to load the crates into the back of a Toyota truck, PRICELESS! -- -Mark Ne M'oubliez ---Family Motto Hope for the best, plan for the worst ---Personal Motto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
