Bator International Press Release (10 Dec 2008):
Bator International Inc. Purchases Daytona Motorcycle Auction!
Glenn Bator, president of Bator International Inc., announced today that he has come to an agreement with J. Wood & Company Auctioneers for the purchase of the Daytona Antique & Classic Motorcycle Auction and Vintage Bike Meet. The event is scheduled for March 4 – 7, 2009, at it’s traditional venue at the Stetson University auditorium. Bator said that he and Jerry Wood are very happy with the transaction and are both looking forward to working together to continue this long running event. Bator goes on to say that Jerry and his crew will be handling the sales floor as usual, and there will be no significant changes to the regular venue.
Both Bator and Wood feel that this a great time in the market to invest in collectable iron. Bator states, “in the past several months, we have all watched the stock market in some areas drop by 40% or more! In that same period of time, classic motorcycles have not gone down anywhere close to that percentage rate, and in some cases, increased in value!” Bator states that they already have a great lineup of motorcycles for the March event and are still accepting consignments at this time.
This will be the first in a series of new motorcycle auctions that Bator International plans to put on throughout the US and possibly abroad. Bator International Inc. and J. Wood & Co. have both earned worldwide reputations for top quality events and honest representation. For more information, please visit one of our websites.
