It always blows my mind to see people put so much money into the engine and other parts of their car, and cheap out on the tires. Tires should always be the first purchase... They won't just help you with performance, they'll also help make sure your car stays on the road.
@@chazzcoolidge2654 I think most people just think "I've got serviceable tires, so it's good enough", failing to realize how big of a difference good tires make from good enough tires. They also see them as a "consumable" item, so they don't want to spend more on something that they will have to pay for again in the future. None of that logic makes sense when you consider how much tires do, but that's what goes through people's heads.
This was obviously someone that was going to takeover events and burning through tires. Why else would have have nice tires up front and cheap ones in the rear
they probably where in a hospital, in most cases people pull the engine and then just dump anything in the engine bay and i mean dump not even attached to anything just a visual for insurance and pics them they get paid on the car in stock form and they still have there engine or whag ever was aftermarket
Its crazy that it's in the scrap yard just makes u think of how many have been like new and were smashed from people not knowing what engine was in the car i bet 426 hemi old school motors have been wasted from that and na car guys runing the press thats 1 job i couldn't ever do smashing good cars especially the Dodge turbined cars. I can't believe they did that. But they did blows my mind if I worked there. I would have came back that night and got a whole bunch of them !! Millions spent to make then run on any fuel just couldn't run them hot and I would only run diesel to make sure there was no problems!!
Wow, this car was a sick deal. That LOD intake is $2200 new. Lol, i actually need the e-brake assembly and drivers side door panel he threw away. Person that owned my SS before me must have had a dog, as they end of the e-brake is chewed up and you have to replace the entire assembly.
Back in 98 we had the same problem running the haltech . Back then we had to call Australia and 14 hrs for down load also we had to build our own trigger wheel. We were running a vw vr6 12v in a corrado fully built engine. Changed to simple digital and then later wolf 3D no more issues 😂,yeah I feel you bro .
Maybe a silly question but what about the gas? We have a smaller business as like urr and we drain, take out fuse for fuel pump, hook up a hose on fuel rail and pump and filter it into cans and use for r work autos, and a few customers will buy. I mean gas here is almost $4 gal. So used gas is better than that. Usually if cars are driven and wrecked tge gas is not stale, bad etc. We always use a bottle of dry gas etc. Here we can't take in any scrap cars with gas in tank, battery, etc. No fluids. Dry.
I'd like to see you strip an BMW Alpina B3 or B7 and see how much you can make from the parts, I had a B3 back in the day and I don't think there are many if any in the US. I had mine when I lived back in the UK.
BMW M3 & M4 would for sure be interesting to see what they bring. Porsches have proved themselves already, maybe time to give another german car a chance
We haven't seen an AMG Mercedes or a BMW M series yet. An exotic truck like a G-Wagon or a Hummer would be cool too. Would you guys ever consider building a chassis-swapped resto-mod? Like a '67 Camaro body on a new ZL1 drivetrain? Or a '65-'67 Mustang body on that RTR drivetrain you just purchased?
Based on the intake I figured it was boosted. Maybe that was the plan but unfortunately it got wrecked. Positive note is that it sounds so good with the muffler ripped off lol. Car doesn't seem total worthy but I guess the age worked against it. Seems like a few thousand to get it looking pretty good. The stuff y'all leave on the bone will eventually be worth something. Of course this mentality could lead to having a hoarders house lol.
Dead inventory and the space can be used for what is worth something now. But as he said, the body and dash are mass produced and are the exact same as a base model. Maybe if the color was model specific or rare but you don't ever see that with American manufactures really unless it is a very special and limited edition.
Suggestions for your next build -- Porsche Cayman GT4, McLaren MP4-12C, Ferrari F430, Lotus Evora - all mid engine cars that might (!) be found with totally mashed front ends ala your R8 GT! Even better, they all have more than 400 Hp and, who knows, you might be able to find a yellow one! 😉
I had no clue the newer camaros still didn't have an access to the fule pump. It's been a running gag since the 3rd Gen that it's a crap shoot if someone cut the rear tray to swap the pump until you pull the carpet. I am honestly really disappointed gm is still overlooking such a common feature you'll see on almost every other make of vehicle these days.
Costs more money... They don't care about convenience or ease for repair, even for dealer techs. That whole "They design it so they make more to have to bring it in" is hog wash. Dealers aren't manufactured owned anyway. They just roll the dice and hope there is no recall or TSB that would cost more than if they had. When you are talking millions, a couple cents adds up, "Then charge a dollar more to the customer", They do, but they also want to save that dollar and make it 2 in their pocket!
@@johnpoteat9774 correct, even in those years you still had to deal with the sending unit though and they've been a common failure item since the 70s on GM cars. Luckily most people didn't cut the tray for just the gauge not working and preferred to just leave it non functional. My dad's 72 Pontiac Catalina he left me had the sending unit die with less than 25k miles on it after it left the dealer.. It's now at 72k and still non functional and has left me on the side of the road at least a half dozen times with it's 11mpg highway and 7 city. The special option 400 it has was only put in 1% of the production of Catalina and it's basically a ram air iv restricted and tuned for a better torque curve with a different intake, carb, and exhaust manifolds. It's a stout engine but it gets old not having a gas gauge with how it chugs fuel. 🤣 Still not annoying enough to go through dropping the damn boat anchor of a gas tank though.
@@commonsenseisdeadin2024 there really isn't any cost difference involved here. When you are buying steel by the ton at the quantities GM is and paying for tooling to produce millions of cars the cost to add that feature to the press dies and the extra 10x10" or so of metal is so tiny you're talking fractions of fractions of a cent. There are plenty of reasons companies do things like this and in many cases it's due to compromising rigidity of the panel or the possibility of it starting to allow water and fumes to ingress as the seam sealer ages or from repairs where it wasn't resealed at the end.
Next project? How about building an Audi R8 TDI V10 (or V12 if you can find it)? A way to make something unique that Audi did but never produced (they had prototypes, they were very close to production but they canceled it.)

I would love to see yall break down a 90's Japanese car. Like a RX-7, NSX, MR2, Supra, 3000GT, S2000, or Eclipse. Or maybe the Dodge/Japan cars like the Stealth or Eagle Talon.
Im not gonna lie i feel in love with a krypton green Camaro Lt with an LTG 2.0 turbo 4 cylinder.2017 6 gen . Its absolutely gorgeous! Ive done some mods for it with plans to do more in the future. Interior,and exterior as well as in the engine. It will be a 400 plus hp to the wheels but at some point i think i will do an engine swap . Not sure what im going yet but i will let you all know
When we got a original old corvette 454cui that had hit a tree on the right side, we took out the engine and there were cracks in bothe heads. No small cracks, it must have been smoking alot. When we told the insurance company they made the former owner pay back most of the money he got from them
Thanks Dave for sharing the information...Surely bold and brave, staying on the task of searching out and applying skills to dismantle and create gold..
Man that engine sounds nasty. That thing could be an absolute beast if given a second life and it looks good. Why not leave the injectors in the manifold as well? The Camaro is a great platform. It’s proven itself on the track time and time again and a car that be modified for less than most others. An actual NASCAR Camaro shocked the world and won the 24 hours of Le Mans against cars that were much more expensive.
@@jostrander71 well it’s been shown on many sites and many other reports have stated it won its series at 24 hours. I never said it wasn’t modified as a matter of fact I said it was a NASCAR Camaro which suggests modified. Either way the Camaro platform is simply cheaper to modify than just about any other V8 sports car on the street. If GM had gotten of their asses they would have built a car that would have sold much better than it did but they didn’t want it competing against their precious Corvette. However due to it being considered an experimental car it wasn’t allowed to win even though it had lapped a few other cars that were specifically designed to rave that event and were much more expensive.
@P-J-W-777 It was a fun experience for Hendick Motorsport. The car was in a class almost by itself. The car was modified because you need headlights and taillights driving around the 24 hour race. If they really wanted a show off they should have raced a bone stock ZL1. That would have been more interesting.
@P-J-W-777 BTW that car was not cheap and anything can be built to go fast. Even Tesla 4 door Plaids with modified suspension can corner. Not as good as a Mercedes AMG Roadster but good enough to suprise people. The Garage 57 Camaro finished 39th overall.
@@jostrander71 I’m fully aware that the NASCAR Camaro was not cheap. But it was near as expensive as the Hyper/GT CARS and wasn’t expected to be able to even be competitive against them as they are specially designed and built for that race. While you are correct in that it finished 39th overall it would have finished much higher potentially even 1st had it not been for a transmission failure. I read a bit more into it and found that what people were reporting was actually its win during practice trial runs. (Seems you can’t believe everything you read online these days. Even from multiple sources! lol.) Of course anything can be made to go fast. Again I never said that wasn’t the case. Dollar for dollar the Camaro has been shown and proven to be the least expensive and easiest platform to modify/improve with its LS engines and already track focused chassis design. A stock Camaro beat the track of a ton of cars on the Nuremberg track. Cars they said it shouldn’t have Ben able to beat that were much more expensive. Such as Ferraris, Porsche and Lamborghinis. Cars that were 130,000 dollar plus. Just imagine what the Camaro would have been like if they had the GT350 and GT500 version like Ford was very very smart and did with the Mustang. Hennessy had a performance version (Exorcist) on pump gas you could buy from them that had a 0-60 @ 2.1 seconds with a 1/4mile time of 9.57 and a top speed of 217mph and an even fast version the (Resurrection) on race gas. People build them up street legal all the time pushing over 1000hp easily. EV’s are only good for a few things. Quick 0-60 times, leaving you the stranded on the side of the road because it’s dead, catching fire and running into anything that’s it’s cameras don’t see. My whole point was crapping on GM and their management and design team. Had they taken the Camaro further offered more performance options like Ford and Dodge did with their cars as well as improving the design their sales would have been much much better. They just weren’t as exciting as the other options. The C7 ZR1 is a masterpiece of design and the C7 Z06 is awesome. They could have given the Camaro the same attention and it would have been successful and made them more money as there would have been more produced and sold when compared to their corvettes. They are even holding back when it comes to horsepower on the corvettes so all they have to do each year is offer a little more with nothing more than a software update. I used to be a huge and loyal GM fan however they’ve lost my respect due to their lack of competitiveness and design choices.
years ago a friend would get odd parts, like the seat backs and the front of the rear bench seat from Audi 5000's as the vinyl could be used to fix the sides of the seats in the 944;s etc. Old 3 ton GM trucks with a 366 had a forged crank for the 396 and the 350's had a LT1 crank in it. and the headlight was the same as the Camaro so if you wanted a correct date T3 you went to find an old 3 ton. Even the 06-09 grand Cherokee with the 4.7 and 5.7 driveshaft is desirable, Its non repairable only available new at $1400. If you dont want oil to splash in the drain pans.get a floor polisher pad from a cleaning supplier, Black one is best , fluid runs through it
Here is a find if you can.... 2011 Neiman Marcus Edition Camaro Convertible 2SS. Only 75 made, plan was 100. Corvette 426, custom OEM wheels, lots of name brand upgrades from factory. What could the parts be worth? Outside of the serial number, you would never know you were looking at one Accept for the deep Bordeaux Color and painted in racing stripes from front to back. Only 2 options, stick or auto.
All these cars are cool the domestics and imports, but help me understand why not pickups? I mean they do make a number of performance trucks, and quite frankly trucks are huge sellers on todays market and every homeowner needs one so there’s definitely a market for money to be made on trucks, BTW GMC is coming back out with the Cyclone in summer 2024 people are preordering them they haven’t even been built yet lol crazy
Man those ls engines sound so good was this completely straight pipe with headers? I have an escalade and even stock is has a very nice rumble. Also that fuel pump lack of access seems like they just want to make money by selling gas tanks attached to fuel pumps. I don't see a good reason for not putting an access port.
Daym that camaro had some serious work done to it... then just to get junked out is kinda tragic... good thing yall were able to salvage some goodies off of it.
The controls such as window controls are 50 a pip the door panels on average go for another 50 to 25 can't say it's worth a lot but in the end they are worth your breakfast lunch and dinner if you wanna sell it. XD
Do a Supra (current or previous gen), or an Evo was a great choice.. a current Skyline.. A Civic TypeR I could see do well, as well as ANY hot hatch (Focus RS, Golf R) TONS of ppl using VW TDIs for swaps these days I'm sure you could find cheap.. Or if you REALLY want a challenge do any popular AMG G55 or E63 AMG!
I am so late to the conversation but I have to agree with Daddymack001 a Ford Raptor would be cool considering just seats bring about 3k and the 6.2L with 30 to 50 K miles brings on average 6 to 7K in the Salvage market and considering Ford uses the same cab structure again for the 150 through F5 50. It really opens up the market for a lot of other body parts. Even though they use different engines and they use different interiors and they use different beds along with many other pieces the used parts market for F series Trucks is enormous good luck and look forward to the next one.
I hope that leakdown test wasn't performed on a cold 2618 piston. About the driveshaft it could have been pulled for towing then just stuck back in place. I rebuild wrecks and I see that a lot, most tow guys just partially put them back in place. Even a manual on a rollback and that shifter was a little damaged.
Try to get a chevy ss sedan and see what money u can get out of it. Rare parts ls3 drivetrain and with the small production numbers im sure the parts are in demand 👍🏽
Thats crazy lol , i have the exact same car , same engine identical. Except mine is maroon instead of bumble bee lol. SS. Car is really really really quick. Its faster than my dads Demon. Which im actually in the process of buying from him.
I miss Copart before online auctions. When guy drove his school bus down the isles with the auctioneer standing on top, selling 2 rows at a time. Fast paced and had to pay attention. But, you got better prices, and if you knew the auctioneer, you could get stuff real cheap. Lol Not any more :(

I'm the one who got the car built 🥲
@@takay_the_loko And how do you feel? Like crying? I know I would.
@@Viking8888 sure suck man , i wish i never sold it , i put so much time and money into this car , you wouldn't believe
@@takay_the_loko Sorry to hear that. I feel bad for you dude.
@@Viking8888 i haven't slept yet bro lol , i'm gonna make a video today about it , a lot of people have been asking for details on it
I would love to see yall break down a 90's Japanese car. Like a RX-7, NSX, MR2, Supra, 3000GT, S2000, or Eclipse. Or maybe the Dodge/Japan cars like the Stealth or Eagle Talon.
Im not gonna lie i feel in love with a krypton green Camaro Lt with an LTG 2.0 turbo 4 cylinder.2017 6 gen . Its absolutely gorgeous! Ive done some mods for it with plans to do more in the future. Interior,and exterior as well as in the engine. It will be a 400 plus hp to the wheels but at some point i think i will do an engine swap . Not sure what im going yet but i will let you all know
Im glad I found your channel. I found it super interesting. I recently bought a salvage yard, its old school but would love to be more mainstream
Always amazed how you guys are expert pulling things out. I couldn’t even attempt this. Congrats.
Taking it apart is easy when you don't have to worry about it going back together.
🤦♂️ it’s all edited to look like it takes ten minutes 😂🤦♂️🤦♂️😂

When we got a original old corvette 454cui that had hit a tree on the right side, we took out the engine and there were cracks in bothe heads. No small cracks, it must have been smoking alot. When we told the insurance company they made the former owner pay back most of the money he got from them
I can’t believe you considered that rusted out…😂😂😂 I’d hate to see you get one with actual rust and holes
Considering i drove this camaro in snow a lot , it doesn't have much rust at all
If you find a salvage Lexus LFA? i'd love to see one torn apart. A nissan Joke should have never been made, btw.
Thanks Dave for sharing the information...Surely bold and brave, staying on the task of searching out and applying skills to dismantle and create gold..
I really want to see like a late 80's or early 90's maxda rx-7. That is a car I'd like to see on this channel. Keep up the good work man.
Man that engine sounds nasty. That thing could be an absolute beast if given a second life and it looks good. Why not leave the injectors in the manifold as well? The Camaro is a great platform. It’s proven itself on the track time and time again and a car that be modified for less than most others. An actual NASCAR Camaro shocked the world and won the 24 hours of Le Mans against cars that were much more expensive.
What Camaro won Le Man's? If you are referring to the recent run of a modified Camaro it didn't win. It did race yes.
@@jostrander71 well it’s been shown on many sites and many other reports have stated it won its series at 24 hours. I never said it wasn’t modified as a matter of fact I said it was a NASCAR Camaro which suggests modified. Either way the Camaro platform is simply cheaper to modify than just about any other V8 sports car on the street. If GM had gotten of their asses they would have built a car that would have sold much better than it did but they didn’t want it competing against their precious Corvette.
However due to it being considered an experimental car it wasn’t allowed to win even though it had lapped a few other cars that were specifically designed to rave that event and were much more expensive.
@P-J-W-777 It was a fun experience for Hendick Motorsport. The car was in a class almost by itself. The car was modified because you need headlights and taillights driving around the 24 hour race. If they really wanted a show off they should have raced a bone stock ZL1. That would have been more interesting.
@P-J-W-777 BTW that car was not cheap and anything can be built to go fast. Even Tesla 4 door Plaids with modified suspension can corner. Not as good as a Mercedes AMG Roadster but good enough to suprise people. The Garage 57 Camaro finished 39th overall.
@@jostrander71 I’m fully aware that the NASCAR Camaro was not cheap. But it was near as expensive as the Hyper/GT CARS and wasn’t expected to be able to even be competitive against them as they are specially designed and built for that race. While you are correct in that it finished 39th overall it would have finished much higher potentially even 1st had it not been for a transmission failure. I read a bit more into it and found that what people were reporting was actually its win during practice trial runs. (Seems you can’t believe everything you read online these days. Even from multiple sources! lol.)
Of course anything can be made to go fast. Again I never said that wasn’t the case. Dollar for dollar the Camaro has been shown and proven to be the least expensive and easiest platform to modify/improve with its LS engines and already track focused chassis design. A stock Camaro beat the track of a ton of cars on the Nuremberg track. Cars they said it shouldn’t have Ben able to beat that were much more expensive. Such as Ferraris, Porsche and Lamborghinis. Cars that were 130,000 dollar plus. Just imagine what the Camaro would have been like if they had the GT350 and GT500 version like Ford was very very smart and did with the Mustang. Hennessy had a performance version (Exorcist) on pump gas you could buy from them that had a 0-60 @ 2.1 seconds with a 1/4mile time of 9.57 and a top speed of 217mph and an even fast version the (Resurrection) on race gas. People build them up street legal all the time pushing over 1000hp easily.
EV’s are only good for a few things. Quick 0-60 times, leaving you the stranded on the side of the road because it’s dead, catching fire and running into anything that’s it’s cameras don’t see.
My whole point was crapping on GM and their management and design team. Had they taken the Camaro further offered more performance options like Ford and Dodge did with their cars as well as improving the design their sales would have been much much better. They just weren’t as exciting as the other options. The C7 ZR1 is a masterpiece of design and the C7 Z06 is awesome. They could have given the Camaro the same attention and it would have been successful and made them more money as there would have been more produced and sold when compared to their corvettes. They are even holding back when it comes to horsepower on the corvettes so all they have to do each year is offer a little more with nothing more than a software update. I used to be a huge and loyal GM fan however they’ve lost my respect due to their lack of competitiveness and design choices.
WE NEED MORE CAMAROS ON THIS PAGE AND LEES!!!
It's time for a Range Rover teardown. ❤
years ago a friend would get odd parts, like the seat backs and the front of the rear bench seat from Audi 5000's as the vinyl could be used to fix the sides of the seats in the 944;s etc. Old 3 ton GM trucks with a 366 had a forged crank for the 396 and the 350's had a LT1 crank in it. and the headlight was the same as the Camaro so if you wanted a correct date T3 you went to find an old 3 ton. Even the 06-09 grand Cherokee with the 4.7 and 5.7 driveshaft is desirable, Its non repairable only available new at $1400. If you dont want oil to splash in the drain pans.get a floor polisher pad from a cleaning supplier, Black one is best , fluid runs through it

Here is a find if you can....
2011 Neiman Marcus Edition Camaro Convertible 2SS. Only 75 made, plan was 100. Corvette 426, custom OEM wheels, lots of name brand upgrades from factory. What could the parts be worth? Outside of the serial number, you would never know you were looking at one Accept for the deep Bordeaux Color and painted in racing stripes from front to back. Only 2 options, stick or auto.
Selling airbag components is a huge liability for your company.
Anything can be a liability if you make it lol there’s big money in airbags they go for 300 bucks a pop depending on what vehicle even more .
Nah
@@billyanderson321 incoming somebody who wants to argue 🤢🥲
Not worth it imo
@@Mrdoitall3344thats pennies. $300 is yesterday’s $80. Not worth it.
All these cars are cool the domestics and imports, but help me understand why not pickups? I mean they do make a number of performance trucks, and quite frankly trucks are huge sellers on todays market and every homeowner needs one so there’s definitely a market for money to be made on trucks, BTW GMC is coming back out with the Cyclone in summer 2024 people are preordering them they haven’t even been built yet lol crazy
g35 coupe
🎉🏆🏆🏆
Man those ls engines sound so good was this completely straight pipe with headers? I have an escalade and even stock is has a very nice rumble. Also that fuel pump lack of access seems like they just want to make money by selling gas tanks attached to fuel pumps. I don't see a good reason for not putting an access port.
TSP 418 stroker , kooks long tube headers deleted cats , and straight piped to the zl1 mufflers
10-15 camaro rubber exhaust hangers are hard to find and also fit the g8 gt
BMW M5 should be your next project. Love the channel, keep up the great work!
Great video. Along the lines of what you said, "Many of those parts won't have value until their 40 years old."
08 magnum srt8. Hella rare and parts for em are super super rare. Bring a lotta money
Daym that camaro had some serious work done to it... then just to get junked out is kinda tragic... good thing yall were able to salvage some goodies off of it.
I would like to see a audi R8 v10 plus
C10 pickup always parts in demand for those‼️would love to see one on the channel
The controls such as window controls are 50 a pip the door panels on average go for another 50 to 25 can't say it's worth a lot but in the end they are worth your breakfast lunch and dinner if you wanna sell it. XD
sick video thanks for breaking down all the prices and showing everything you do love you channel
Need to find a TRX and tear it down. Would love to see what the salvage price is.
Ambient lighting is the v6 rs too
Glad to see you take all the Chevys off the road
There is so much stuff I’d buy off that car. I have a 2012 Camaro LS V6

The amount of space he has is awesome! I wish I owned a salvage yard lol
I would really like to see a Nissan Juke. It's a great car. No joke. It is.
Do a Supra (current or previous gen), or an Evo was a great choice.. a current Skyline.. A Civic TypeR I could see do well, as well as ANY hot hatch (Focus RS, Golf R)
TONS of ppl using VW TDIs for swaps these days I'm sure you could find cheap..
Or if you REALLY want a challenge do any popular AMG G55 or E63 AMG!
LETS SEE A TRUCK! TRX TIME!
Just watched the viper 240, now this… you earned yourself a sub. Sweet content
Where’s the best place I can find a GM truck frame? Specifically 119 inch wheelbase and AWD.
Being from Massachusetts I absolutely lost it when you said the cars suspension was rusted out up here that would be considered pristine
Have y’all ran across a 1996 ss impala I need parts like a hood
That engine is built. No doubt about it. Soon as I heard it run.
13:29 "we've handled a lot of shafts" he didn't even realize it when he said it lol
Thanks for these breakdowns and transparency. Ive always wsnted to open a business like this with my dad.
It would be cool to see some trucks on a salvage story. Like diesels or like a raptor or Trx.

I am so late to the conversation but I have to agree with Daddymack001 a Ford Raptor would be cool considering just seats bring about 3k and the 6.2L with 30 to 50 K miles brings on average 6 to 7K in the Salvage market and considering Ford uses the same cab structure again for the 150 through F5 50. It really opens up the market for a lot of other body parts. Even though they use different engines and they use different interiors and they use different beds along with many other pieces the used parts market for F series Trucks is enormous good luck and look forward to the next one.
I hope that leakdown test wasn't performed on a cold 2618 piston.
About the driveshaft it could have been pulled for towing then just stuck back in place. I rebuild wrecks and I see that a lot, most tow guys just partially put them back in place. Even a manual on a rollback and that shifter was a little damaged.
Yeah , the ds was installed properly when i had it done
What about a Acura tl like a 2006???
What was the ring gap? I bore my own at 6 to 8 th high compression. Was curious about your gap.
Never seen a resto mod bimmer, a new one could have some retail value
I’m looking for good front seats for my 2002 Camaro SS. What fits that’s newer and comfortable? Charcoal grey
What wheels are those on minute 12:37 next to the lift i think there for your zr1

Try scrapping a Peterbilt or Kenworth for major profits. Commercial truck parts are high demand 😎
love to see you scrap a BRZ/GR86 it's a pretty popular track car so maybe parts are in demand.
Haven’t watched the full video but you should keep the engine and do an insane swap

I miss Copart before online auctions. When guy drove his school bus down the isles with the auctioneer standing on top, selling 2 rows at a time. Fast paced and had to pay attention. But, you got better prices, and if you knew the auctioneer, you could get stuff real cheap. Lol Not any more :(
