May need some help

Really do not like to ask for help or rely on any one to help me out but here is the situation . This may be a plan B option .Just trying to get a contingency plan in effect if plan A does not work out .Scored 33 lots from the Little Dearborn Auction . My brothers live in Rice Lake , Wis. 2 hours east of Minneapolis . Am hoping they can make the trip to pick up the parts One is retired ( a good reason to help out your blood brother & the other works split shift so has days off during the week .They are close when it comes to guns , gun shows & etc. am very close to the split shift worker brother and he is getting into old FORD trucks . One of mine is willed to him , a good reason to help out your brother .
Will not be able to get up there till Oct when on The Great 2017 Parts Safari .
Are there any trust worthy /honest FTE brothers in the Minneapolis area that would be able to pick up the parts ( you will need a truck ) and store them till Oct ? Thanks , Denny

Denny,

I just came back from picking up a couple of items from yesterdays Little Dearborn auction. I guess I should have checked here first. How much room would your purchases take up? I've got a pickup & time, but the storage might be a question. Maybe you can send me a PM about this if you want to.

It sounds like they might have one more auction. Their new store is scheduled to open June 26th.

Sorry but I just gotta ask.

I thought they were going out of business. Now you are talking about their new store.

No, Little Dearborn was not & is not going out of business. Their building is basically being consumed by the continually expanding University of Minnesota campus. The longtime owner is retiring and a long time employee is continuing the business in a new location a few miles West of Minneapolis in Long Lake.
