Agreed, but they really want people to show up at 10 am and look the bikes over before bidding starts at 11.

At least they're doing it on a Saturday. Unfortunately it completely eliminates the possibility of doing any research on your purchase before you make it. Which, in turn, is likely to drive down the bidding price on potentially valuable (but non-obvious) items.

Hey, psssst...
