Yep, the recent sale 'Annual Machinery Consignment Auction' here was pretty sparse on the old rusty stuff that people buy to put out in front of their places. I know the auctioneer and he was pretty glum about it. He's been doing this annual sale for 38 years and doesn't know if there will be a #39. I go down to the re-cycling yard several times a week to 'look' and they are running stuff through so fast that an old tractor or baler that gets dropped off at 10 AM will be gone by quitting time.
Also, I heard that Virginia, for one, has tightened up on their vehicle inspections to the point that people are scrapping their older vehicles rather than fix the 'defect' ..... I heard, also, that vehicles are being rejected for in-operative power windows, missing radios, etc. The really great used parts lot in Mechanicsville (Bruce's) has closed down because of this.
It must be that the Feds are threatening to with-hold highway funding or some such if they don't get the older stuff off the road ????
We'll get it all back though ..... when we can't buy anything but tools, appliances, etc. except those from China. :(
