ATTENTION York Attendees / Vendors - Need to liquidate parts inventory

[Guido]

I will be coming to York for the first time since 2011 and would like to leave empty handed (a la Jerry Forrester several years ago). My Studebaker parts inventory has been living in my enclosed trailer for at least the past 7 years and I would like to free it up for other uses. I have acquired these parts over the years, some NOS, some used, a few probably junk. A small amount of used sheet metal (Champ doors, '62 trunk lid, etc.), used glass, gauges, stainless, etc. Would be willing to sell as a lot, in bulk, by the piece, but the goal is to have an empty trailer by the end of the weekend. In the alternative, I would sell the trailer with the parts for cash and just buy another trailer when needed when I get home. The goal is for me to have an empty trailer and no parts or no trailer and no parts by mid day on Saturday. I have gone through what is in the trailer in 3 years, so I am unable to tell you what specific parts are there though I suspect a search here on past York meets will bring up a few pictures. There may be a few items in the trailer I will retain for my personal vehicles, but the rest needs to go. If someone was inclined to pay me for the table I lay the parts on they could instantly go into business while there.

I did a search and here is a picture that Dave Arnold (remember him?) took in 2010 that shows some of the parts and the trailer.

Gary in a way your lucky it all fits into one trailer, what I have might take a few semi's so can not make that kind of trip to York this year, good luck with the sale and have fun on the trip over , good luck....Bob

Success, the parts and trailer are on their way to a new home.

Gary, what ? you sold every thing to one person? send him my way, but bring a bigger trailer....Bob

Yup, everything to one person. He hooked up the trailer and took it home.

HA! Now that's the way to make a sale Congrats Gary; glad it worked out for you.

Sounds like a Dwayne Jacobson move

Yes I found the best way to get rid of stuff I had been hauling around for years. Gary and I were set up next to each other at York a few years ago and every time I saw he had his back turned I would sneak something from my stash into his. I always thought I got away with it, but now, maybe not. ;-)
I guess he got rid of it this weekend. Congratulations.

That depends on what you were 'sneaking' into his stash. R1 or higher parts like Paxtons would not be too offensive.

[Jerry Forrester]

HA! As if that would happen.

Happy to know that Claude was thinking of me. I just. Finished my 40x40 addition.

Always looking to buy! I am afraid my eyes are bigger than my pole building. Saving Studes one part at a time.
