Hi,
I'm looking to buy a second-hand bike in london. I know there are
sources like loot, ebay and stores like "Re:cycling" in Elephant +
Castle. I'm investigating these but I'm also curious about the police
auctions.
I've seen several references to police auctioning of bikes recovered by
the police but not returned to their former owners.
e.g. this thread (admittidly from 1999):
http://groups.google.co.uk/group/uk.rec.cycling/browse_thread/thread/\
71e5c2c59906ca22/53c5f773b9493097?q=bike+auction+london&rnum=3&\
hl=en#53c5f773b9493097
> Have a look at http://www.auctions.co.uk/general/general.htm.
> They run the Met. police auctions.
But this domain name doesn't resolve.
Does anyone have:
1. any idea of what the new site might be, if one exists?
2. any tales to relate of going to one of these auctions.
Any other useful info would also be welcome.
Many thanks,
Ben.
