I was just checking and I didn't get the sled. It went for a couple of hundred more than I bid. I think it is still a good deal but more than I was willing to spend on a sled you can't test drive. Anyways thanks again Morris for checking it out for me.

That`s too bad, it seemed ok.
One of the problems with sealed bids is you never know how high something will go for and I hate paying too much.
I suppose I could have taken it for a run around the compound but I didn`t like the idea of a life time ban....

It may have been pretty funny stuff while in the yard till I tried to leave... 
The price on the Polaris isn`t bad from what you are saying but there isn`t any warranty so you have to cover your butt.

When making sealed bids you have to take into account a few more things than if you are buying from a dealer or privately, such as the history of the item you are bidding on. Some one told me once that a sealed bid should be about half to two thirds the value of the item unless you are familiar with the item. Of course that doesn't apply to everything, but I think it is a good rule of thumb to go by. It keeps you (me) from spending to much on such auctions.
