[@gunfisher4661]

I feel for you ,I`m happy to pay the price when I find something I want at a garage sale. But when I try to have one people come buy only wanting to pay 10-20 % of my asking price. What makes me mad is that a lot of those people are buying to resell on line, I don`t have a garage sale to make these kind of people more money. The last few I had what didn`t sell went to a dumpster. It was much more satisfying than letting a reseller make extra profit.

Silas , You should stop reading these comments all together. You are doing the right thing with your yard and your channel. There are to many negative people out there and you should not waste your energy on them. They will start to suck your inner self dry. Keep up the positive vibes you give!!

It would be different if you were running a pick-a-part in addition to your crushing operation, but in your neck of the wood, this doesn’t pencil out. PS - you have a great attitude and a great KZbin channel.

Exactly, insurance would be to high im sure. Liability, plus a bunch of people on the property.

Some people have no common sense when it comes to the pricing of parts. I have been very happy with the price of the items I have gotten from you. Look forward to getting back in September for the others we talked about.

[@normabrawner4881]

That was a very fair price you was asking for those parts. And your time is worth something. I don’t think people realize how much it cost to run a business. Exspecialy the business you are in. Another great video. Thanks for taking the time to share with all of us. I hope you and your family have a wonderful vacation. Just love your videos keep them coming.

[@illburnmyselfforreal]

it's wasteful to crush cars that have so much potential and easy repairs! It's absolutely wasteful!

[@petewilliams4579]

Keep doing what the easiest for you Silas , some people don't respect how hard your job is . Just do what suits the time available that you have . Don't pay too much attention to the whingers , you'll end up as silly as them , keep crushing mate , cheers Aussie Pete

[@ultraviolettp3446]

You go, Silas! You tell 'em! People can be such thieves with regard to other peoples' stuff. People just understand how little time you have to get so much of that stuff done and it takes your labor to remove parts. If someone wants a steal, they should buy a whole car themselves and part it out and see what you go through! I liked the ending with music playing while the video of the cars being loaded was being shown. Hope you have a safe time away and thank you for being YOU!

[@FUELFIREGARAGE]

Next time someone tells you .you should sell it for scrap price tell them you are .scrap price plus storage fees. 😁

Decent looking toolbox in the bed of the square body at the beginning of the vlog.

[@aliceevans3357]

I love it when you can look through the vehicles. I truly understand that you just don't have time to do that with each vehicle but it sure makes you wonder what gets missed. Don't worry about the naysayers, they don't walk a mile in your busy shoes. I so wish I was as smart as the armchair experts! 😄 Glad you and your family got to get some time away. Hope all went well and you had a safe, great time. Love the videos. Stay safe and GOD bless

Wow its amazing how some people can let their cars get so disgustingly filthy and not even seem to worry about it .I don;t blame you for not bothering to go through it .

That Was Still Cool, Just Like Metal Detecting It's Always Fun To Find Anything

[@garylangley4502]

$5 for an alternator and bracket? Just for the heck of it, I looked it up on the LKQ Pick A Part price list. An alternator is $28.34, with a $10 core charge. The customer wanted to pay less than a reasonable core charge for one. They didn't have a price listed for a bracket, so guessing from some other parts, I'd say about $8 for one. This is a self-service place. The customer pays $3 for an entry fee, then gets to hoof it up and down the rows to find what is wanted. The customer gets out the tools, and pulls the part. I hope that you had a great time in Costa Rica.

[@twisted2291]

I have customers get pissy with me over a diagnostic fee I charge them. Now if I just listen to the car and tell you what's wrong. That will be a freebie. But if I have to pull out any tools, and my $5000.00 scanner. Now I have to get paid. Sure you can go to a parts store, and they will scan your car for free. But they also want to sell you parts that might not fix the problem. Now paying me to scan the car. Well.... I'll tell you what the codes say, what they mean, and how they may co-mingle with each other to pin point a problem that has nothing to do with any of those codes. Something that the parts store can't do. Good work is never cheap, and cheap work is never good. Time is money, and my time is very valuable. Glad to see that you think the same way.

You should get one of those 5 gallon glass, water jugs to put all the change you find, into. Once you get a lot of change, get it counted, and use it to take your kids on a vacation, even for two or three days, would make them feel great. My husband and I did it, and took our 4 kids to universal studios in Florida! We got a 3-day pass that was good for a lifetime. We went twice one year and a couple years later, went again. They absolutely loved it!!!

I really enjoyed your searching the cars for treasures and money. It seems that there was some profit to be found after all. I thought that you were the owner of the big salvage yard and operation that you worked at. But I can say that your dad has a pretty good employee working for him and helping to keep things running smoothly.

[@Meow_Ag47]

My old neighbor who passed away always said to keep $100 in your car for emergencies it you need gas or something. Not sure where he hid that but the owners manual would make sense. Not sure how many people follow that advice because I would completely forget about having that in my car after years of never needing to use it.

Thank you for the time and the effort you put in these videos. I learn some things and it's all relatively interesting to me. I resell but not as broad as what you've done. Looking to expand in the near future, I just finally blew the motor up in one of my cars and was surprised to see what parts are selling for. Mind you,it's just one car and it's not killing my time or business parting it out. I definitely understand why you don't get into that too often. You take care buddy

No Silas! You are awesome. I remember back when Canada had pennies. As everyone knows, Canada eliminated the penny right around the time we legalized pot, not sure if the two are related. You never hear a Canadian say "penny for your thoughts" because who even has one? No penny, but we have a $200 coin, which will cost you $2000 to buy. Stuff used to make sense.

[@joshhoman]

Thirty dollars for an alternator is perfectly reasonable, I would dare say a bargain. People these days are spoiled with the Wal-Mart mentality-they got used to getting stuff for next to nothing so they expect everything to be dirt cheap. That truck in the beginning can't decide whether it's a Chevy or a GMC.

the wallet you found with no ID but had $15 cash in it, may have been like a kids wallet instead of an adult. I know as a kid like 12 years old or so. My dad got me a cheap wallet to carry just because I wanted to have one like he had. I never had any money much and for sure didnt have an ID in those days but if I got so much as a dollar I would put it in that wallet and carry it when I went anywhere with my mom and dad and always felt like I was like my dad because I had that thing...lol
