I was the new guy at these, they all know each other, but not me. They all were watching what I was looking at. There was 61 cars today. I eyed a 2002 Chrysler sebring limited convertible. Under the hood was spotless... No idea what the mileage was or the story but it is clean. We got to that car and I havent said a word till that car come up. They started bidding at $25 LOL, I yelled out $100 the place went silent , going once going twice SOLDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD I got it for $100. Perfect body and interior, with only 135,000 miles.

I had to have a key made and I meet a mobile locksmith and can cut car keys even with the security code, He buys the codes. Anyway he cut the keys and put it in and the engine didn't even crank 3 times and fired right up, Smooth as a babies butt....... It has been sitting since 3/14,,TO HELL WITH CRAIGSLIST and peoples lies. I know what I am getting into at the auctions, I know nothing LOL....But I have a pretty good eye for what has been maintained and what has been trashed. First try , great deal........

They had 2 older RV's and first one the guy started bidding at $35,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,NOTHING,,,,,,,,,, A younger guy said, " I will give ya a buck" Auctioneer said SOLD HAAAAAAAAAAAAA he bought a nice rv for a buck. Crazy........

I will have pics tomorrow...........
