In flower and fish markets at least a Dutch Auction is when the auctioneer sets the starting price and there is a "clock" which then counts the price down until someone bids. The first bid is the winner at the current price. Bid too soon and you pay too much, wait too long and you miss out.
 
I think we can edit Wikipedia (i have never tried) so we could soon both be right. :rolleyes:
Although we are both already right - at least at the time and place where we came across the term.

You just can't win sometimes so back into storage they went.

Under NO circumstances should you EVER scrap these!

Worst case, put them on e-bay with a starting price of $100 each and post a link to a couple of Ducati sites. You'll get top dollar at that moment in time.

Funny, never before in my life I came across the term "Dutch Auction" ( and I am Dutch, born and raised in the Netherlands):D

I can't see those being scrapped but will have a clean out this year of NOS in general after I work out what I will use and what not.

I'm sure you would :) I owe you a beer.

I will try and get back some time this year but did get rid of some 'stuff last time, a lathe and mill to a young guy starting out in the hobby machining thing (race car) so cut him a good deal on both and dumped some other stuff.

Before I flew over some 'Aussie on FB was looking for a Ducati 998 front wheel and after some thought (dumb decision) contacted him saying I had both wheels with less than 2000 kms on them and would sell the lot for $1000 (US$700) ... a bargain... but they were in my lock up.
This clown asks for more pictures (he was very keen) when I get over there which I sent and plenty of them.
I state I do not want to get screwed around (As I would bring a 1973 Ducati 750 round case engine back with me otherwise)
All good he said, then it was can I pay the next month when I get back, sure I say... Guess where those wheels are months and months later, still in the box I brought them over in.
Another bum with no money... selling things can be a PITA at the best of times.

Put them up on the Ducati owners FB group. I am sure they would go there
 
Indeed I should be able to move them on no problems, I have the SSSA and a bunch of carbon parts off the same bike.

What I really need is load a container if I ever get around to finding out what the legalities of importing all the junk over here.
There are a few decent projects there also including this one.
I bought a 1968 Husqvarna MF360 Viking engine some time in the 1990's (It came in a wooden apple crate) and asked what happened to the rest of the bike but it was lost and unkown.

Fast forward nine years and the ninth Eng#360009 1968 Viking built was reunited with its engine.

I have a ton off new bits for this bike, a good deal of them from Edison Dye (iirc) or some dude tied in with him.
Not that I am that interested in value the last one that sold (restored but wrong red) sold for US$11000...who would have thought.
