Now they are probably doing it for the show, but it seems at each location, they might get 1 good pick, with a nice profit, the rest is marginal to say the least, sure they had better maintain a fair demeanor amongst the sellers they visit, for the audience, but if this is how they are in reality, look at it the other way, this is what you do for a living, you need to make a profit, a paycheck, pay your overhead, payroll, taxes, refurbishing, marketing, keep a van roadworthy and stay out on the road, and so on. At first I was thinking the other way, but look at the numbers, they won't become wealthy off this, unless I am missing something here, it does not add up.

I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
