Hi Lucus & Vee enjoyed your video, Looks like a good place to get a cheap motor but it's a gamble because you don't know why it is being sold. Could blow up on ya haha but if it's a year old you should be alright. Always check underneath the car because some cars on dirt roads get damaged. The bikes are the same deal buy as seen, buyer beware. No different from any other country. Take care GOD Bless you and yours. M

Looking at the video again i noticed a BMW amongst the big bikes .I would have been curious to see how much that went for ,but i know that you had to leave early .

That auction was interesting. My Dad was a used car dealer here in Maine and when I was a kid, I use to get to go to some auctions with him. When he was retired and wintered in Florida, he was a driver for a couple auction houses around Lakeland Fl. When ever I was down there I would go hang around the auctions and chat with him. We always figured phone bids were suspect. It seemed when the price was low on an absolute sale the phone would ring. I did see some great deals but you needed dealer plates and a dealer license to bid. I would love to have seen how much them larger bikes went for in Bangkok.

Hi Loucous, very interesting film. That 2 year old CB150 at 33K (+tax and premium) was an absolute bargain. I test rode and looked at that as an option before buying my ADV150. I may be adding to my parking garage soon if prices are like that! That looks like a very professional auction outfit. Shame that you couldn't stay until the big bikes were auctioned.

I’m a car dealer and deal with auctions every day, the online bids are genuine bids here in Australia as you need to prove your ID first and have a registered credit card before they will allow you to be able to place a bid at auction, some of those cars looked to me to be above what I consider they are worth but the bikes did look to be value. I’m moving to Thailand in the near future so I think I’ll be having a good look at that auction for sure!
@grahamjohnson47023 жыл бұрын
It's hard to judge resale car/pick-up prices in Thailand because they are high I was told because a lot are reclaims and the credit company wants good return. Because they are so high when someone looks for a replacement or first car/pick-up the new prices are so close that people pay a little extra for new rather than second hand. It may also be due to repayment rates being higher for second hand. I was told that is why there are so many large second hand car plots.
