US Watercraft/Waterline Auction

As many of you may have heard, US Watercraft is in receivership and there will be an auction Nov. 11th (link below). I was planning on ordering a few sprit parts this winter from Waterline Systems, but it looks like that will be impossible. Also, in the past, Waterline has been very helpful in pinpointing rather hard-to-find replacement accessories (cushions, floorboards, veneers, etc..). 2 questions: Any idea on other suppliers of sprit seals or bushings? Any east-coasters planning on attending the auction (it would be wonderful if 109 parts would remain with 109 owners-although considering the nature of such auctions this may be a far cry).
