Too many conditions... What's with the household limit? i can understand discouraging mass buys from vultures and flea marketers, but what if one has a largish family (for the sake of argument) that needs more than two bikes? You'd think that the OPD would be happily rid of these bikes and not care who bought how many just as long as they make bank. Just sayin'.

i once scored two decent bikes at the OPPD auction years ago, though.
