M101 CDN2 Canadian Gov. Surplus Sale...closed bids only

[VanIsle_Greg]

Ok, it pains me to do this, but someone out there needs this trailer more than I do. I desperately WANT this trailer, but if I buy it I will have to live in it for the next few months until my wife forgives me. You should have seen her today when I came home with a new-to me Cobra 29 PLX and a Firestick. This looks to be in near MINT 1992 condition, and is probably the very last Canadian Gov. owned M101 CDN2 1/4 ton trailer for surplus anywhere. I stalked this site for 2 years trying to find one of these...and here it is now that I am done (ha ha, done). Ugh

It looks to be mint, starting bid id $500.00 and it will not last. You must register to bid...takes like 5 minutes. Closed bids only so bids your cash, and cross your fingers.

Sad face.



Someone buy this and make it awesome, for me...please.

Hmmmm. I REALLY want one of these too, and in original condition, but 1600 miles one way is quite a lot of driving.

AB has all the good stuff

Yeah, it is 1350 from here too each way. Believe me, I almost pulled the trigger and bid on this last night. LONG drive though...worth it IMHO.

I found 4 or 5 of these trailers when I was looking, and all were in AB or Ontario. The Ontario ones were all from Quebec? ha ha So AB and QC have all the good stuff!!

Wish mine was in that kind of condition when I started!

 

[VanIsle_Greg]

Me too... that is twice as nice as mine was.

Damn, I wonder how much I should bid? Ive been looking for a while for one of these. I hate the closed bid BS.

There is a lot of chatter on the boards I frequent about this trailer. My guess, if you want it...and I mean really want it, you will have to bid high. If it were me, and I was looking still...I would probably go $12-1500.00+. I paid $1200 for mine a few years ago and it was in a lot rougher shape than this one. You are also close... so shipping and or delivery isn't a consideration, or at least not much of one. I would pay $1500+ for this and be happy with the deal (maybe more).

Buy it man, this is probably the last one that will come up for auction...like ever.

Yikes. I figured less than that. There are still ones that come up in the buy and sell here in Cowtown for less than that. I just have never been able to act fast enough cause they seem to get bought up real quick.

I put in a bid but I'm not willing to go that high. Thats almost in the custom trailer build price range.

Yup... more than I would want to spend too. My guess, someone will bid high and get it. I hope for your sake I am wrong...it would be pretty kool to see a local get it considering it probably spent its whole life a few miles away from you in CGY.

Good luck with your bid!!

Thanks! Hopefully people are just window shopping and I pick it up for a good deal. Otherwise I think there are still a few kicking around Alberta I could wait for. I lost out on a few this year for $500-800, so I know they're out there. I read your build thread and I gotta say, I never thought about a wood top. That's something I have the shop to do myself! Metal, not so much. Thanks for the great info!

 

[VanIsle_Greg]

NO worries man, yeah the wood top was a friends idea.... got to love boat building techniques. Light and strong... good combo.

 

[deets]

Looks like Nobody is going to get it. Less than 5 hours before the auction ended they put a recall on the trailer and now its not for sale anymore.

 

[Chris Sandstorm Fj]

Wonder if it is still available? I sent the guy an email.

 

[VanIsle_Greg]

There is a new one for sale, same deal closed bid.

The one originally noted in this post is in the background of the pics, so they have at least 2 of them still...hmmm. Bet there are more out there still?

SOMEONE please buy this!!
