Default Anyone from Minnesota going?

Anyone planning to go to the TCRC Auction? There are TONS of great deals. If you're a beginner, it's a great way to get lots of the stuff you need (Or want) for a great price!

And If you're an old fart like me, it's a great way to blow a few paychecks! (Besides, what else is there to do in Minnesota in February?)

I wish I could be there. We do have the WRAM coming up in Feb, though, and I am going to attend that one for sure. And, as you, this old fart will surely bust a pay check or two. I just gotta find somewhere to put all this stuff before I head up there..

Yea, I really miss the WRAM Show. Now I have to drive 12 hrs to get to Toledo instead. The TCRC Auction is the best thing I've found outside of those two events, and it's only two hours away!

That's not to bad. It's about a two hour drive for me to WRAM too. But you can bet I will be there and blowing away another one or two paychecks...

I will let you know what I pick up. I'm sure I have to clean my back room now..ha..

Hmm, something to think about. Although, if I go there I wouldn't be able to go to Toledo.

And I can't miss out on the fried pickles!!!

I'm planning on going. I don't know if I will be buying, though. (it's times like these that I wished I didn't have to explain hobby expenditures to my wife)

Minn- of the kits that sold last year, would you say they were high, low, middle on the price/ market scale?

Are you talking about NIB Kits, or just airplanes in general?

If you mean airplanes in general, they were definitely on the low side. A few went for as low as 40 bucks.

I bought an original Aeromaster with a K&B 60 w/stand for $100

Here's a pic of the Aeromaster:

There were a few there last year, but I don't remember specifics.

Mike, I'm attempting to talk the TCRC auction up to members of our club here in Park Rapids, Minnesota. Some have been before and said it was a good place to find deals! I would like to go, so maybe we'll see you there!

Hey, that would be great. I haven't had a chance to burn those CDs yet, maybe I'll just bring them if you're coming
