    sometimes they have decent enough bikes,

    but there's rarely any bargains, the bikes tend to go for around what they're worth

    you also have to bring 50e deposit, I believe.

    A lot of people go to the auction to see if their stolen bike is there.

    Thats why I'm going!!!!!! (2 bikes stolen in last year)

    I went to this last year and people were gettin really carried away with the whole auction thing. Some were bidding way over the actual value of the bike. I saw a crappy old racer (about 15 years old) going for over €100. :eek:

    Yeah only go if you have something in mind, find it wednesday and have the cash. About 3/100 bikes are good. Many are rusted and get bought 'in the heat of the moment'.

    Not recommended.
