What’s interesting is, govplanet stands by the sale. They are provided with an inspection online, and if you get it and it goes awry in a short amount of time (maybe 30 days or something) they will buy it back I believe. Or when they started that’s what they were doing.

Of course this does not apply to the ones they sell that are stated NOT RUNNING.

Govliquidation on the other hand, you got what you got! We showed up to pick ours up,  fired it up, aired up the tire with the hose that was left in the locked tool box, did a road worthy inspection in the lot, and away we went. Right through the middle of Atlanta, as the lot was in south Atlanta. We sold the truck before moving west, as I didn’t want to drive it the 1800 miles from ATL to TUS, I drove it 7 hours to the buyer in central Florida, that was enough! Of course it was well worth the trip though.

Farmer Jon:
I love browsing Gov Planet. I have a wish list a mile long.

OldKooT:
Yes..... I am "grounded" from said sales for a while. A new self help program I invented. I call it.... "NMJBAF"  which simply stands for No more junk barns are full. I expect a full return to buying junk after this springs Inventory reduction program is put into effect.

Ok so, maybe sooner, a birdie mentioned more NOS Dana Spicer junk has been found at my favorite scrap yard emporium of junk I don't need shopping center. I swung over yesterday to take a look, I controlled myself and only bought $20 worth of PTO units. So 12 or so, maybe one will fit something I own?
