I have not been to a BJ auction, dont know how they are, I have bought and sold m/c's through Mecum with success. I dont think I would ever buy online after seeing a bike one time that looked amazing that I had to have. At the last minute I was able to swing the trip to FLA and attend. In person the bike was a POS! The cost of the trip more than paid for itself in the aggrevation and waste of money I would have spent on it.
We have a local Richie Brothers that sells mostly construction related stuff. I have bought a lot from them in the past, they put the stuff on the lot with keys in the ignition, you can start them, run them, check hydraulics, just about anything else. Takes most of the guess work out.
