yes I agree

As someone that did this for a year I hated seeing vehicles in a unit as paper work typically screws you over in the end. Also most facilities have in the bid vehicles are not included as they have to go through a separate auction to clear the titles. Basically just stay away from storage auctions not worth it.

[@Yardsalesonline]

I keep finding drugs in my mine. The first time, I barely broke even. The second unit yielded a profit of three hundred dollars, but after subtracting the one hundred thirty dollars for both units, my last unit gave me a profit of one hundred dollars after paying thirty. If I were a drug dealer, I would make more money! 😂

[@linmal2242]

Always a wrinkle !

A court ordered title or a lien gets you a title in most cases.

[@davidcampbell64]

Clearly have confidence in the people working with you hence allowing someone to use your card without you knowing what it was being used for. Low end 6k profit is not shabby when it comes to ROI. Keep the faith Heavy D, wishing you and the team a very happy Christmas :)

Stuff like this makes me think of a dad who run a business, died with no will, his wife and kids were too aloof to give a damn about what dad did and probably got a fat life insurance payout so they never bothered to find anything out.

[@HG_Budde]

The video is kinda strange in general.. different. Darker than usual. 3 minutes in and it reminded me more of Pawnstars or Orange County Choppers. Bad energy right from the beginning, for some reason washing dirty company laundry on tape and not cutting it out for some reason.. Feels like the typical, end-of-year filler episode. Not enough time to do a proper one, but too much to do nothing. Kinda feels like HeavyD's trying to re-orientate, trying out new stuff but in a very clumsy and unstructured way that feels like all and nothing.. a bit of recovery, a bit of gambling, a bit of re-furbishing vehicles and a bit of realityTV. 😳 I miss the "old days", before the more or less f*d-up EV Truck disaster kinda forced the channel to become a very complicated corporation, too. The reason KZbin was such a revolutionary concept was that it lacked the rigid and overly-complicated bureaucracy and the need to run through the power structures in order to secure funding, legacy media fell ill to. The fact you could just tape, edit and air a video of your own in under a few ours.. now all the biggest Channels have changed into corporations whose KZbin Channel is merely an asset, instead of the reason to exist, that advantage is gone as well.. 😳

[@asb3pe]

I agree, I don't like this new direction for the guys, but quite obviously most other fans of the channel love it, so the few negative opinions aren't going to change things. But no worries, we don't HAVE to watch the non-recovery videos. It's their channel, not mine or yours. Merry Christmas to all the Diesel Brothers crew!
