my experience of it is that tons of people show up expecting a bargain but bid each other up beyond what the bikes are truly worth ... plus its usually freezing. If you are going , make sure you go along the day before to view the bikes, bring a pen and paper to take notes of the one/s you want to bid for. they are all packed in together so no chance to take it for a spin etc, its definitely buyer beware !
and yes its in Kevin Street garda station
I have heard (not sure how true it is) that if you have had a bike nicked and reported it to them you get either advance access or some kind of deal. Though this does seem a little altruistic.
