[@jeremyTallen1]

I watch the auctions here in Illinois and everything goes for crazy high prices with 200,000 miles and tons of rust. The prices at these auctions where rock bottom for great vehicles. The prices at these auctions is how much stuff would sell for with blown engines here because the body of these trucks are not all rusted out.

[@Kentboy05]

Same in Alberta, These are pennies on the dollar type prices right here. The scrap value alone is more than most paid

Obviously they need work, but still.

Must be nice to attend public auctions where people don't lose their mind on every vehicle. Every one I've ever been to the vehicles end up selling for more than they would bring in good condition on the used car market.

Why does the price go down, before going up here? Usually, bids only go up at auctions.

Since it’s like a government auction I might be wrong but I think the reason is since some of these are gov owned they don’t have a set goal the seller wants so they can go down or up

The auctioneer throws out a price to get a bid , if he doesn’t he will come down till he gets one and then work up

I would do that, but whoever was bidding would have to send their max bid before the auction begins and if it goes over their max I’d send it back. But people get weird with money so idk. That would be interesting🤔
