Marketplace Hoard Dawsonville Georgia

[Phattiremike]

So marketplace locally had an ad up today. I’m about 15 minutes away so I scrambled to get there. I met this guy some years ago but we never connected. Long story short much of his hoards been exposed to the elements and useless, he had a few buildings that had some decent bikes but they either were not for sale or overpriced, I couldn’t strike a deal on anything but it was worth a shot! Very interesting character, he had a story for just about every bike.

Yep, about 45 minutes from me. Was there a few years ago and left with what I went with. A pocket of cash.

Hopefully it makes him happy. Stuff is rotting........ Cars also it looks like

He might be happy but his family won't be one day.

looks like there might be some decent stuff, probably something cool on the bottom of all that ....

It would take hours to tear into that pile, I saw some middle weight schwinns mostly girls he's already made 2 scrap metal dumps, which he said didn't pay much but offered the pile at $10 per bike. The few better bikes are not for sale or promised to someone, some he claims are riders but they don't look like anyone's touched them in years? He kept saying he was offered x for some bikes I inquired about, not close to what I wanted to pay.

Sad. I imagine some of those bikes were pretty nice before they were left outside to rust. And while he may think he has a trove of treasure, most of it will probably go straight to the scrapyard once he's gone.

More sad than the bikes is what could be a very nice 63 1/2 Ford Galaxie Fastback that will rot where it sits.

Nicest bike I see is the green diamondback
