    I think you'd have to work that out in advance. In other words, the primary buyer would allow people to "sign up" to buy each part, with the highest bidder winning out.

    The bigger issue I'd be worried about would be folks committing to buy and then backing out. I (and Marlin and others) have first hand experience in what happens when "I'm in!" suddenly turns into "Oh man, sorry, I changed my mind."

    Why would you canabalize a fairly low milage VX that appears to be in great shape and has a lot of mods that a lot of people want/desire? Seems like it would make more sense for it to go to a good home or for someone who wanted all those mods to possibly buy it and then part/sale their current ride. Just my opinion.

    My money says it will end up in Russia!

    It's been in two accidents and may have significant frame rust issues based on being owned in the northeast. No doubt the owner has cared for her well, but it's not like we're talking a pristine, one-owner, no accidents, 30K mile VX.
