Riding my '39 Silver King 26X
I was just looking at the results from today's Copake auction on Live Auctioneers - the market looks a bit depressed, but everything seemed to go for "going rate"... nothing really seemed to ring the bell. And a lot of bikes went very cheap...
My feeling is it's tax time and many people did not get the refund they expected, in fact many had to pay this year, so prices were subdued.
Sorry I cannot post the results here, I was only able to see them by logging in to Live Auctioneers, but here are some of the highlights:
Men's Silver King "wingbar" - Hammer - $4500 + 18-23% premium + 8% New York state sales tax + possible shipping brings the final outlay to close to $6,000.
Ladies "wingbar" Hammer - $3000. Out the door close to $4K all said and done.
Bluebird Hammer $8750 A little over $11K all done.
'39 Columbia Hammer - $2100 Out the door close to $2800
1908 Iver Johnson cushion frame Hammer - $9250 Close to $12K all said and done.
Dayton Safety Streamliner Hammer $8250 Close to $10,500. all done
Shelby Streamline Airflow $5500 Just over $7K all done
If you were there in person, what were your impressions of the sale? I have always wanted to make this auction, show and ride, but haven't been able to make the journey so far. Maybe someday.
