I was am glad someone brought the subject up. I am fairly new to all this,
but I was watching a truck on the GSA web site this week and was amazed at
what it brought. It was a nice truck (M35) and looked complete, no winch,
late 80's production and drop side bed with no troop seats. I can buy the
same basic truck from the dealer I bought mine from for $3500 and it will
drive home. It is doesn't I can pick another. This truck at GSA with
possibly some drive line problems when for $4100. I doubt it was cranked
ahead of time at the auction site. I thought the whole point to an auction
where they say "repairs required" was to get stuff cheap enough to
anticipate a few repairs. I could not believe the truck went for that much.
Of course there is always the possibility some one knows something I don't
and the truck is worth it. Hard to believe that. Maybe this is one of
those that will be on ebay for $10,000 in a few weeks.
