I think there will always be salvage yards, but they are gradually being modernized. I know of one place, you drive by it and it don't really even look like a salvage yard. The guy dis-assembles everything that comes in, bins the parts in big buildings, and has very little stuff sitting outside. Scraps any parts that won't sell. Sells most stuff by phone or through the net. Very little walk in business. Your going to see alot more of that. E.P.A. laws are getting tuffer in my state on these salvage yards that have large acreages of half parted out junkers. Fewer farmers and less equipment = less local business for these guys. Gonna have to have broad marketing in the future in this business. Most do now, although I know a couple old schoolers that still refuse to market on internet. They probly won't, but there kids will have to when they take it over. Can't imagine the way things will be 50 years from now. It will be unreal. And if I live to be old, unfortunately I will see it. LOL
