Let's not bid over each other!
« on: November 25, 2022, 12:12:51 am »
Hi, this seems a bit wrong for me to be writing this, but was going to suggest that if anyone is eyeing the below lot, and is primarily interested in the boat engine setup, then I would be interested to work with you as I am really only interested in the PM research boiler. Trying to avoid needlessly running up the value, especially with this huge 25% buyer premium!! Would really have preferred that auctioneers just make separate lots, but if someone is interested in the marine engine let's combine bids and both (try to) get what we are interested in :)

   I have the same PMR boiler (with a gas burner and tank) that I would be willing to part with. It is a bit different, all-black (looks great) but has no pressure gauge. Very nice one, send me a private message if you might be interested?  Thanks - Greg

I would prefer separate lots too, but what bothers me more is how some stuff gets mixed together that obviously doesn’t go with it… Why was that cloth cord in this lot?? Why did they put those catalogs with the Jensens? By the way, was that a Bassett Lowke Eclipse in the lot?

Well I got outbid, it was certainly worth more than it went for, but I hit my limit as I was only willing to spend what I thought the pmr boiler was worth.

Greg, I think you may have sent me photos of it at one point, but I can't find them now, would you mind shooting them over again?

I hate people for this, but to be honest I would have kept the PM research build and sold the marine setup. My offer at the price the auction sold for was automatically rejected. Oh well

     I still have my PMR boiler, complete with gas burner and tank. I never heard back from you, and the private message channel here does not allow for sending photos. If you are still interested, send me your e-mail address and I can send some photos. Thanks - Greg
