    Did I make some good buys or did I mess up?

      What is junk to one person may be very valuable to another. I think you have done well. You bought some nice stuff. 😎👍

      @christophertaylor2464 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      I think you did good.
      I also think you should get a booth at the swap meet so you can get all the good stuff first. Do it at least once.

    I always enjoy it when two of my favorite u-tubers meet. That being Silas and Mr. Good Pliers. I get the feeling that they really respect each other even though Silas is a scrapper and Mr. Good Pliers hates to see any vehicle scrapped.

    Those little pieces in the 53 Ford taillight lenses are call CAT'S EYES when you step on the brake pedal, they light up like cat's eyes. They go way back in the 40's/50's I know because I am 85 years old.

    Silas, Your small plastic cars are from the late 50s and early 60s. They are MPC cars of the world. They came in large bags at Woolworths for 98 cents. They did do well on Ebay.

    The tail light lenses with the jewels in them are Blue Dots. Popular in the 50's and 60's. At a distance makes the light look purple.

    The little plastic car's remind me of the pediatricians office when I was a kid, after being seen the doctor would let you pick out a toy from what he called the toy drawer. Thanks for the memories.

    You should make a point to come to the Hershey antique car show/ swap meet. It’s amazing what you’ll find there. It’s usually the first week of October. It’s huge. Advertising, cars, parts. Everything you could think off. My buddies dad always sells a few cars there.

    Hey Silas that manure spreader has a cool guarantee decal on the side, it's a guarantee that the sides will never rot out in the lifetime of the spreader. LoL we run 3 of them and I don't know what they made the sides out of for steel but everything else has been rebuilt but the sides are finally getting wore and thin in spots and going to be a winter project to reskin them. But anyways another home run video and I hope your father is doing better. Keep up the good work.

    I’m with you, you do the humping, buying, etc. When you sell? That’s feeding your family. I NEVER TRY TO CUT A PERSONS PRICES BY BEING NASTY? Nope I will pay a fair price, I figure that you found it, you’re not trying to burn anyone. I’ve stopped buying and selling, too old. I’ve seen some of these cars you sell for rebuilding, when I was building I would have bought a half dozen of yours at your prices. I loved getting a body straight, brakes, running gear nice. Sell without engine, wiring and trannies. It helped guys that wanted a straight body. I made money, they had a chance to build their sweet rides. 😊Silas, we would have been great buds! I love recycling yards!!!!!!! I love shoe box fords, coupes etc. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

  • @jeremysmith3522
    @jeremysmith3522 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I think you made some really good buys! As long as I can double my money or more it’s all good. Sometimes I make bad buys but I just view them as learning opportunities and as long as I can make enough to get my money back and pay for my time and labor then I’m OK with that. 😂 If I have too I will bundle them with something else or other things to promote their sale.

    @GwynnOak1 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Good day Silas! I'd say you did right well myself! Although I can be a bit more of a haggler. However if something is priced reasonable to start, I won't. I get offended, when I have things already priced at 50% of their worth, and people try to offer half of that. Don't insult me! I price things to sell, I want a sale, but I'm not giving stuff away! You always seem a pretty fair man.

    Did you point out that 56 Chevy 2-door hardtop and he was going to crush it? Is about a third of the way through your video $20 for all those emblems you bought early on, it took more in labor to take that off 📴 of the vehicles

    Gday Silas, Silas, we don’t seem to have those markets where we live so I’m so envious. In the beginning of your video I saw two blue rocker cover's , some people are turning them into desk and wall lights. That’s something I would like to try. Anyway great video. From Down Under.
