I feel for you ,I`m happy to pay the price when I find something I want at a garage sale. But when I try to have one people come buy only wanting to pay 10-20 % of my asking price. What makes me mad is that a lot of those people are buying to resell on line, I don`t have a garage sale to make these kind of people more money. The last few I had what didn`t sell went to a dumpster. It was much more satisfying than letting a reseller make extra profit.

@@AdventuresMadeFromScratch what's the deal with the cars at the warehouse? how much are you asking for the Oldsmobile

A co worker told me once that how ppl kept their cars trashed up was how the inside of their house looked like also!

Humorous. I remember when those square bodies were first made and was walking down the sidewalk one day and thinking, "WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MODERN!!!!!!!!!!! " LOL!!!!

That tool box in the bed of the truck is an easy sell for $75 or more. I’m not in the area to buy it though. Thanh’s for the videos

Silas , You should stop reading these comments all together. You are doing the right thing with your yard and your channel. There are to many negative people out there and you should not waste your energy on them. They will start to suck your inner self dry. Keep up the positive vibes you give!!

It would be different if you were running a pick-a-part in addition to your crushing operation, but in your neck of the wood, this doesn’t pencil out. PS - you have a great attitude and a great KZread channel.

Exactly, insurance would be to high im sure. Liability, plus a bunch of people on the property.

Some people have no common sense when it comes to the pricing of parts. I have been very happy with the price of the items I have gotten from you. Look forward to getting back in September for the others we talked about.

Wow its amazing how some people can let their cars get so disgustingly filthy and not even seem to worry about it .I don;t blame you for not bothering to go through it .

That Was Still Cool, Just Like Metal Detecting It's Always Fun To Find Anything

Keep doing what the easiest for you Silas , some people don't respect how hard your job is . Just do what suits the time available that you have . Don't pay too much attention to the whingers , you'll end up as silly as them , keep crushing mate , cheers Aussie Pete

Decent looking toolbox in the bed of the square body at the beginning of the vlog.

I love it when you can look through the vehicles. I truly understand that you just don't have time to do that with each vehicle but it sure makes you wonder what gets missed. Don't worry about the naysayers, they don't walk a mile in your busy shoes. I so wish I was as smart as the armchair experts! 😄 Glad you and your family got to get some time away. Hope all went well and you had a safe, great time. Love the videos. Stay safe and GOD bless

That was a very fair price you was asking for those parts. And your time is worth something. I don’t think people realize how much it cost to run a business. Exspecialy the business you are in. Another great video. Thanks for taking the time to share with all of us. I hope you and your family have a wonderful vacation. Just love your videos keep them coming.

it's wasteful to crush cars that have so much potential and easy repairs! It's absolutely wasteful!

$5 for an alternator and bracket? Just for the heck of it, I looked it up on the LKQ Pick A Part price list. An alternator is $28.34, with a $10 core charge. The customer wanted to pay less than a reasonable core charge for one. They didn't have a price listed for a bracket, so guessing from some other parts, I'd say about $8 for one. This is a self-service place. The customer pays $3 for an entry fee, then gets to hoof it up and down the rows to find what is wanted. The customer gets out the tools, and pulls the part. I hope that you had a great time in Costa Rica.

You go, Silas! You tell 'em! People can be such thieves with regard to other peoples' stuff. People just understand how little time you have to get so much of that stuff done and it takes your labor to remove parts. If someone wants a steal, they should buy a whole car themselves and part it out and see what you go through! I liked the ending with music playing while the video of the cars being loaded was being shown. Hope you have a safe time away and thank you for being YOU!

Great video Silas, keep up great job.We are patiently waiting for our next adventure.

Wallet w/money but nothing else. I had one when I was about 8 yrs old. Wallet was a gift at Christmas and I put the few dollars in it. It's a kids wallet.😎

Next time someone tells you .you should sell it for scrap price tell them you are .scrap price plus storage fees. 😁

I have customers get pissy with me over a diagnostic fee I charge them. Now if I just listen to the car and tell you what's wrong. That will be a freebie. But if I have to pull out any tools, and my $5000.00 scanner. Now I have to get paid. Sure you can go to a parts store, and they will scan your car for free. But they also want to sell you parts that might not fix the problem. Now paying me to scan the car. Well.... I'll tell you what the codes say, what they mean, and how they may co-mingle with each other to pin point a problem that has nothing to do with any of those codes. Something that the parts store can't do. Good work is never cheap, and cheap work is never good. Time is money, and my time is very valuable. Glad to see that you think the same way.

You ever think about doing a video with your dad or does he not want to be on camera? I love when you reminisce about growing up in this business. Would like to hear it from your father’s side also.

Love your work, Silas. Never let the lowballers get to you. Thank you for such entertaining videos, all the way from Ireland 🇮🇪.

You should get one of those 5 gallon glass, water jugs to put all the change you find, into. Once you get a lot of change, get it counted, and use it to take your kids on a vacation, even for two or three days, would make them feel great. My husband and I did it, and took our 4 kids to universal studios in Florida! We got a 3-day pass that was good for a lifetime. We went twice one year and a couple years later, went again. They absolutely loved it!!!

I found 5 $100 bills in the trunk of a car under the spare tire, I have also found new tool sets, Starter jackets, ammo, jewelry, and lots of change in cars from auctions.

Nice find on the wheat penny.

Great content brother, keep up the great work . Hope you and family had a fun trip!

Just the shape the square body is in, it's better than most of the project trucks we find in Wisconsin!

No, You are awesome. The people in your town are not cheap , They are thrifty . I like your channel because , some might say your job is boring or whatever , You make it exciting , you get to work with/for your dad , you do value your time as you should. Plus you share it on youtube.

45.4K not to shabby for a flatlander. Yup, I've lived in Kansas my whole life. And yup, it ain't all flat.

Cmoon man you put that wallet with 💵 in.. 🤘🏻

Bro. Ya pulled that engine just like a loose tooth. 😂

I gave a Monte Carlo to a buddy of mine because I got tired of the low ball offers on marketplace the car had a little bit of rust but still was drivable and ran

That green GMC truck you should have taken the tool box off the bed! People that own trucks would love to but that at a discount because the new ones are expensive!

Cool beans 😎 always a 👍😊🌎🌞

I really enjoyed your searching the cars for treasures and money. It seems that there was some profit to be found after all. I thought that you were the owner of the big salvage yard and operation that you worked at. But I can say that your dad has a pretty good employee working for him and helping to keep things running smoothly.

Wow that is crazy people lol

Seems like my old 79' Grand Prix just sits in the same spot episode after episode. Glad,you like it!

That bus is cool

Wow awesome deal

Thank you for the time and the effort you put in these videos. I learn some things and it's all relatively interesting to me. I resell but not as broad as what you've done. Looking to expand in the near future, I just finally blew the motor up in one of my cars and was surprised to see what parts are selling for. Mind you,it's just one car and it's not killing my time or business parting it out. I definitely understand why you don't get into that too often. You take care buddy

My old neighbor who passed away always said to keep $100 in your car for emergencies it you need gas or something. Not sure where he hid that but the owners manual would make sense. Not sure how many people follow that advice because I would completely forget about having that in my car after years of never needing to use it.

Very cool shot at the clouds and I hope that the storm didn't hit you guys. Absolutely entertained with the vids. A little envious on some of the parts but I also understand what you go through with all the hassle of selling stuff individually. Maby one day I may have the opportunity to meet you and buy some of said parts one on one (on the down low) LOL keep up with the great work.

Awesome video!!!! I really like how you explained things. I agree with you 💯 your time is worth money too!!!!!! Sell online. Everybody wants things free!!!!!! Hope you have a wonderful vacation 😊!!!

We call em tight-wads lol

1942 wheat pennys in mint condition 200.000 for one ona auction , They are all worth15 dollars 💵 1942 wheat double stamp ,and other ,some are more and or less , they are all worth more then a penny , lol nice 👍 thanks BigAl California praise Jesus Christ grace amen 🙏.

At least your going to save this bus even if it is just going to be used for storage

Your time is valuable and that person would say the same about their self if they were in your place but they must be a couch potato lol

Time is the most valuable asset you own in life and how did you spend it or with who you share your time is the most important think in life.

Enjoy your holiday

I hope you had good holiday with your family. You are the man.

I enjoyed this video because of the loading of the cars and the tours of some of the junk cars. I also happen to like the music you choose. Great video

An old friend once told me it’s always “to much and not enough” meaning it always costs to much, and people think they don’t get enough of what ever it is your selling for the money.

Cash @ 19:40, nice ''plant'' 5 ones.

It was good to see you Silas. Thank you for posting and I like the GMC Pickup!!

I do a lot of scraping and that is old practices like when I first got into scraping in 08

love your videos and the fact you take the time to do them

Thanks Sali that was really great loved it can't wait for next one great.

That Square-body was rusty??😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 A guy I worked with had one that makes that one look new.

No Silas! You are awesome. I remember back when Canada had pennies. As everyone knows, Canada eliminated the penny right around the time we legalized pot, not sure if the two are related. You never hear a Canadian say "penny for your thoughts" because who even has one? No penny, but we have a $200 coin, which will cost you $2000 to buy. Stuff used to make sense.

Canada not pressed a penny since 2012. Completely phased out in 2015. I have still have pennies. Although useless I like them

I really enjoy watching your videos I know there is a lot of very hard work in the junkyard business glad you take the time to make these videos keep up the good work like that old mini bus it'll make a great storage shed the only thing on that gmc pickup is that tool box the rest crush hope you have the Great rest of your day and hope you and your family have enjoyed your vacation 👍👍👍👍👍

My husband drove semi years ago, he would carry a fake wallet, he was in Jersey when a guy stepped up with a knife and said give me your wallet. He had a few dollars in there

Wish I could have the square body truck. I'd use it for scraping. Perfect vehicle. Rough and tough.

Great video some people want something for nothing.

Thirty dollars for an alternator is perfectly reasonable, I would dare say a bargain. People these days are spoiled with the Wal-Mart mentality-they got used to getting stuff for next to nothing so they expect everything to be dirt cheap. That truck in the beginning can't decide whether it's a Chevy or a GMC.

Silas don't let anyone try to tell you how to run your business. You know your local market and what folks are willing to pay. Its your business so run it your way buddy 👍

You have a great attitude on conceal carry. Good deal.

Really enjoy watching your vids, keep 'em comin'. I can't believe someone would only offer you five dollars for those parts, some people, eh ? I'm from Canada so I had to throw the " eh ? " in there. LOL Enjoy your vacay..

Hey man get you a small tripod when your checking cars. Then you can set your phone on that and use two hands.

Nice score Silas. Now you can treat your kids to ice cream this weekend.

Exactly why I use eBay and not Facebook groups etc

I'll give you 7 bucks for the wallet and cash. Oh and you need to ship it to me. Hope you had a good time on vacation. I know traveling with children isn't much of a vacation. I think somedays it's easier to go to work. 😆

I used to find money in scrap cars usualy under the seats and in the center console Kool money finds mate It buys you lunch Another kool vid mate 🤘

I put all my change in a glass drinking water jug. I went to move it one day and the bottom fell right out of it. Tin cans now

Probably a kids wallet, nice find and love the channel keep doing what you do

I'm pretty sure that's a Blue Oyster Cult emblem on the back of that bud. Haven't seen that for about 45 years. You find the coolest stuff.

You should make crushing videos of the items that people try and get for nothing.

These are my favorite kind of videos

Cool always cool stuff always thanks 😎 👌 👍

Hey Silas, you found one of the last Canadian pennies, they stopped penny production in early 2000s. Cheers from Alberta.

Really enjoyed the video!

Very good video Silas

That was cool

I live in suburbia; when I go into NYC I carry a dummy wallet. With pictures of people that I don't know, loosing lotto scratch tickets, expired or drained gift cards photo copies of money (one side only). My thought is that anyone looking to rob someone is already in the escape / get away step of the robbery. They are looking to snatch / grab and run. So just let em.

Another great vid to watch, from here in the UK. Cheers.

Next time they low ball your price, say go buy new parts. I do it all the time. Separate scrap turn into high dollar cash

I worked as a temp at carmax when they had there auctions after the sales they had us clean out some for the next week sales I opened a car inside center console I found 1400 wrapped in rubber band and yes I kept it helped with bills

You should take the Ford Nav SD card out of the centre console. That's where mine was for sync, it was worth like $35 on ebay for last yr. Love these vids and who cares what some cheapo's say, I worked for my parents too in a high cash business and only got a salary also lol its work!
