I agree with 'the cost of hauling' being a big part of it. Diesel here
is climbing again at $2.90 to 3.24 a gallon. Another thing that has
happened locally is a couple of guys have moved in that are trying
to make a living at the restore/sell game. They have pretty much
eliminated the 'go find one in a hedgerow and buy it cheap' era.
One of them has some pretty deep pockets and so pays top dollar
for what you used to be able to buy for scrap price. The other one
runs all over buying stuff; guess his Grandpappy owned a grove of
gas pumps or some such ...... can't see what keeps him going but
he's made some shady deals around the country I hear.
