It doesn't matter how little they expect to get for them - there's unpaid debts and the buses have been used as part of a chattel mortgage, so they have to be sold to recover whatever can be recovered whether or not they expect them to be used for spare parts or used on a daily basis with a new operator.

I seem to recall from the auctions selling off the ex-GHA vehicles that winning bids aren't always what you'd expect them to be. The Cheshire Connect Solos were a bit old and hadn't been very well looked after but there was quite a bit of interest in them - I seem to recall the 19 seater one sold for more than a newer Plaxton Centro and the majority of the larger ones ended up going to an operator in Ireland.
