I talked to Christina at length from Dickensheet, av123's auction company. I think if you have any questions, she would be more than happy to help, at least to be able to do a visual inspection. I gave her a bit of a rundown of who they were and also how things went down. They really had no clue of what they had or who they were dealing with. She's now getting up to speed to better answer your questions. I did give her some leads of people and forums to talk to, so don't be surprised if you see a post from her here. I know, to get the best prices, it's better not to invite competition, but with this quick of a sale, I think deals will abound. I'm sure some creditors would like to see this stuff not just given away, so they can recoup some money. Also, I thought if someone reputable picks these up, there may be another source of parts in the future. But don't forget about the Santiago family shipment Danny's importing.
Danny is right, secured creditors are first. She told me the landlord wants them to be out of the building by the first of the month, which is why this came so fast. I think with the short lead time and the way the lots were grouped, I doubt they're going to raise that much money. I could see out-of-state purchasers bidding on a lot, and then asking for the one or two things they really want to be shipped, and ask that the rest just to be thrown away as a lot of it is hardly worth shipping. There's lots of single speaker cabinets grouped with other single speaker cabinets. Kind of like selling a lot of differing Left shoes, without the soles. I'm not quite sure who's in the market for that. She had spoke to their lawyer and has a letter I suggested she post as if this money was going to go towards legal expenses, I would be less likely to buy, unless I was able to get something just super cheap. He did also say some of the money would be used for winding down business expenses, then if anything is left, to reimburse customers that haven't received product. The lawyer is controlling where the money goes, so I guess that's a good thing.
Unless someone local buys the LS6 and LS9 cabinets, I can't imagine a reseller paying shipping, and then the final customer to pay shipping as well. It just would be too cost prohibitive. Unless someone in a nearby state rents a large truck, so the first wave of shipping wouldn't be so expensive. If your local, then I think these large speakers could be purchased at a real nice low price.
They must have about 100 MFW15's, all without amps. If they were auctioning off good working amps for these subs, they would raise a bunch of cash. Otherwise you can buy one of these and do Seaton's $700 Turbo upgrade, or Danny has hinted he may have something in the future, but I don't think he's at a point to release the details. Any vague ideas what you might have in store for these boxes, and a price window you may be able to share with us, Danny?
