Certainly a few items I'd like.   The 56" Glastron flag would be nice to have, just need to set up bidding account.

There's something funny going on with that auction...every bid (almost) is exactly a factor of 10 below the asking.

Asking - $100 / High Bid - $90

Asking  - $10 / High Bid - $9

Asking - $25 / High Bid - $23

Essentially, you'll be bidding the Asking price...there's no auction in this auction...its Asking Price & above only.  Feels a bit rigged.

Hmm...but why is it always exactly below the Asking Bid...look at the larger pattern...they're all just below Asking...

Nevermind...I'm using asking in the wrong sense...got it.  That's the next bid price...

The 16' to 17' boat cover for $12 would be worth it, even if it did not fit - use as a throw cover.

There are other Rapid Marine locations - Ham Lake, and Rogers. Bet this is stuff the other Rapid locations do not want.

A few years ago there was some skuttlebutt about bid-2-buy and rigged auctions - be careful.
