    Hi all,

    Just FYI - the Gardaí are selling off this week, the bicycles they were unable to return to their owners for over 6 months.

    There are ~160 bikes, the quality and condition are not great, but there's no reserve so I assume these will sell very cheaply and quickly. Could be useful for a fixer-upper, or a day-to-day bike you'd be happy to leave overnight in town...

    Full details here: www.wilsonsauctions.com/liquidation-disposals-search-results/659 Location of sale is at Kingswood out on the N7, closest Dublin Bus stop is 5124

    I've definitely seen the former owner ride that around a few years ago, surprised it wasn't an easy thing for him to claim it back.

    Chr1st on a bike,whoever took the photo's knows nothing about bicycle's,99% taken from the non-drive side!!!
    As mentioned already,really most of them are €10 bike's that you could lock anywhere in town and not really worry if it was nicked again.

    A closer view in case the owner needs to check for details only they could recognise...

    I went to one in ~2006, they're not really worth the effort unless you're looking for a dirt cheap beater for commuting and locking in dodgy areas.

    "Bidding Deposit of € 500 is required to bid (refundable if no purchase is made)"

    Holy Cow!!! It was €100 at the last one. €500 is a bit rich is your bidding is €60.
