This month we had 6 "automotive" units and as expected the crowd was much larger. They were some nice units but I stayed away from them since don't have a clue about engines, transmissions, and stuff.
We had two month before last. Same facility so assume same owner. Everyone stayed away.
I even work in the automotive industry. Billion contacts and I won't touch that stuff if I can't inspect it.
Most tends to be good for nothing more than scrap.
One unit had an engine still in crate. Short block. Figure even for stock, standard car it's a minimum of $500 new. Ran into winner a few weeks ago at an estate sale and he said it was an awesome unit money wise but total pain in the ass. Said it seemed like everything in locker weighed 1000lbs. lol
75% went to scrap. Nothing was quality. No one wants the block. It's for some odd ball car.
If it hadn't been for the brade new catalytic converters he found in it it would have been a $200-$300 locker.
The second locker he got too and it was sort of a winner. After sales, minus expenses it was about a $200 loser but it just happened to have the exact struts for his truck. So he got struts for $200.
and was very happy when he found a mini fridge, plugged in, full of beer.
