      Dear tayloralexis...
      Unfortunately they don't have the slightest clue what things are worth. Additionally they don't seem smart enough to even research stuff in the internet. 50 bucks for an original 1960's Honda Dax and 50 for a Yamaha Chappy 70? C'mom, that's ridiculous cheap. One could earn a fortune by selling most of the stuff (and still keeping a complete workshop and some running cars and motorbikes).
      Best regards, luck and health in particular.

      But you are intelligent! Because that's what an old German saying means: "Die dümmsten Bauern ernten die dicksten Kartoffeln"! (= The stupidest farmers harvest the biggest potatoes) 😁 ;-) Don't know if the translation is correct but I'm sure you know what I mean.
      Sincerely yours.
      Post Scriptum: I'm absolutely sure, that even such a seller could have made at the very least two times more money. I wouldn't have sold all that stuff for less than 4 thousand bucks. But of course I would've been able to empty the yellow box truck and get it running and driving. 166000 miles is really not much for such a vehicle.

    A buddy of mine from Tech school in Florida a few years ago lived in one of these mini truck box trucks while we were in school. He was from somewhere in the DC-Virginia area and his parents owned some kind of furniture business or something and he took one of their old box trucks and built it into a camper and rode his motorcycle back and forth to school, it had everything he needed but a bathroom and laundry, so he lived in a RV park that had bathroom and showers and every Friday after we got out of school I would go get him and his clothes and he would come over and do his laundry and we'd hang out throw some food on the grille and have a couple of adult beverages. good times, there's more room in those things than you think.
