Auctions are really wierd. I was looking at an online equipment auction and found a Shark pressure washer. Belt drive, 4.8 GPM, 3500 psi Honda powered. About $1700 new. Ad said engine will not start. Just for kicks I threw a $200 bid on it. I never expected to win it for $180. Drove to Illinois from Michigan to pick it up and finally found it in their massive yard and had to have help loading it. This thing is a moose. Heading home i stopped to top off my gas tank and for S&G's looked in the fuel tank of the washer. MT!!!! Put some gas in it and pulled it 3 times and it roared to life.... Laughed my a$$ off all the home. Find me a Honda engine that won't start..... LOL The pump was tested out at home and this thing is a monster.... Moral of the story; Sometimes you eat the bear, and sometimes the bear eats you.... Pass the potatoes please....😁👍👍
The axles and beds are probably from upgraded new city trucks and the fuse boxes are also from new trucks to increase the electrical capacity of all the add ons to city vehicles.
Taking these pick up beds off to mount utility box's, beds, lights, etc. When you said low $2000, I thought might almost double that an in came in at $3400! But nice motor!
There's always someone who pays too much at an auction. For some reason people get a determination to win something, anything, even if it means paying more than brand new delivered to your door :)
I once won a doll at an auction and i am not into dolls. I understand the feeling of wanting to win at an auction...lol, it's a good thIng that just a dolls.
@Taylor Its not the cost that makes me chuckle its that otheres drove the price uo and the winner pays more for it, often the "winner" overpays for a used item but yes sometimes cheaper than retail...
I buy a bit of stuff at auctions. You did the right thing know your max bid & stick to it better to walk away than spend loads of time & money on a lemon.
Most stuff at a city Auction is there for a good reason .Worn out ,broke .to many miles, hrs. or is now junk.Very few times there is a diamond in the rough...but Don't bet on it. As a city mechanic in a florida city ,when we say Auction ,we tech's are glad to see it go..So if you buy a motor ,engine ,outboard motor and it work fine , then someone at the city screwed up.WE are supposed to be saving tax dollars and not giving it away. But it happens
at a county a uction i purchased a wide area mower 12ft, about a 32k unit. It would start and run well but hydrostatic transmission and would only go in reverse. 1200 and it was mine. Got it home and since trans was shot and id never been in one, i figured i had nothing to lose by taking it apart. Got in there and found there was a 2" pin broken that connected your foot pedal to the valve for hyd flow direction for forward and reverse. I didnt have a pin, so i found a nail that would fit and cut it off the correct length and reassembled, ran it 7 yrs changing oil every yr. diesel yanmar engine. Mowed my yard of 8 acres, sold it after 7yrs for 13000
@@bill45colt Just proves that a lot of city workers are too lazy or not qualified to be techs. Just like the Stealerships that can't fix you car or throw mega $ at it without knowing what they're doing.
You may wonder why, like the fire engine. What you're failing to consider though, the sum of the parts is MOSTLY worth more than the whole. It's a lot of work, but it is rewarding.
RE : BRAND NEW PICKUP TRUCK BEDS.... Company's & governments buy new trucks & yank off the bed & upfit the truck with a flatbed, towbed, tank or whatever. The smart operators carefully store the new bed so when the new truck becomes old, they can yank off the upfit bed & slide another brand new truck under it. If they had any brains. !
i'm guessing florida is the way to go for used motors? i live near atlanta georgia, but my mom keeps getting way better deals on boats and motors in crawfordville, florida
Yes anyone with HALF a brain cell knows that! Unless your this guy and also think a truck with a 7.3 motor and dual rear wheels is a f250. Boat motor went for almost double what his cheap ass was willing to pay... Just CLUELESS on MANY levels lol
Motor : a machine that produces motion or power for doing work. Full Definition 1: one that imparts motion; specifically: prime mover. Good for additional information but generally speaking is correct!
The likes of a new 'Company' Fire Vehicle' would be great ...or even for export option to Europe, many of those new Irish Pharma / Bio Science Companies over there would love same, much better that repurposed clapped out stuff they import from British County Fire brigade trucks out of in the U.K.
Bro, can I give you a little friendly advice? Your videos are great but move your Mic over. It's right in the direction of your breathing and you breath heavily through your nose. If your not talking we have to listen to that is like a light whistle in and out.. annoying after a while... it starts at the lawnmowers I think!
Really enjoyed this video. Would like to see more along these lines. You've been making these types of videos before it was, "cool" to do so. Keep it up mate.!
Thats why auctions suck except for the seller an that one especially bad exporters flock to it an go out of there minds crazy on bidding id rather get somthing for a set price from an individual. Anything ive. Sold either never got what i was asking or never sold at all so i scrap it i watched trucks an equipment i liked go as dealer bid only or like i said it gets stupid high priced by people that have to win it
Where did they get these truck beds. Um, the county buys new trucks and takes the beds off to put dump bed or utility body lol so it would be a new bed
@@kelvinsandoval430 as far as I know all Nissan and tohatsu OBs sold in North America are the same engine with different decals. I have a 2000 Nissan 40 and it is a mirror image of the same vintage tohatsu.
Wasn't there a buyer's premium? I have attended many auctions in Washington State. Most have a buyer's premium of 10 or 15 percent and State taxes. So if I buy a car for $3,000, I would end up paying an additional $450 for the premium and $345 for the 10 percent State sales tax for a total of $3,795.
That’s nuts almost 3k for that. People have to much money now, and are doing stupid things. The engine New is around 5-6k my cost with a 6 year warranty. One major part is wrong with that engine you will over what a new one cost
What’s up bro. I live in Tampa & have a fishing boat that runs good but motor has a cpl issues. Do you do business fixing up other people’s boats? If so, Can you let me know? Thanks
I went to Hillsborough county auction 1 time everything i was interested in went for new retail or higher for used stuff . You get what i call people who are winning so they keep bidding till they winn psying no attention to worth value .
Whats up bud you should explain how to get in on those auctions and do you need some type of license I live down here in Miami-Dade I would like to attempt that one day.
Small town fire departments get a lot of their equipment second-hand. I would assume there were a few volunteer FDs bidding on that ladder truck.
Mexico likes to buy old fire trucks too.

Sioux City Sarsaparilla ? Yeah that's a good one. .Dude,one thing ..Yeah what's that? Do have to use so many cuss words?
Fascinating! Love the way you put your videos together. Easy going and informative.
The axles and beds are probably from upgraded new city trucks and the fuse boxes are also from new trucks to increase the electrical capacity of all the add ons to city vehicles.
Always remember: no-one wins an auction. There's just one person willing to pay more than anyone else for an item!
My dad had an old ambulance used it as a plumbing service truck. Awesome vehicle, a lot of shelves, lighting,stand up inside ,great work truck.
You win some...you loose some. Thanks for showing both sides.
Great videos I enjoy watching them.
Great video
The truck beds are from when county swaps beds for readings work bed with all the compartments
Problem with auctions is it becomes a competition between bidders and never about what an item is worth.
Well said
Clayfan That is why you have to determine what it is worth to you and never bid over that amount !!!
Taking these pick up beds off to mount utility box's, beds, lights, etc. When you said low $2000, I thought might almost double that an in came in at $3400! But nice motor!
Wow, looked like a great auction. The ones down here in Miami-Dade usually have a lot of junk.

Exactly right.
I lived near this junk yard, I mean auction for 21 years. Lots of cars broke down on the roads after the sales.
It always makes me chuckle when people say I won at an auction like they got something for free or something...
@Taylor Its not the cost that makes me chuckle its that otheres drove the price uo and the winner pays more for it, often the "winner" overpays for a used item but yes sometimes cheaper than retail...

Nice auction walkaround with some good stuff there👍
Good work. Most excellent.
People pay crazy amounts for things at auctions. Folks get caught up in the action and loose their heads.
When emotions are involved, this is true with anything. Keep emotion out and the older you will be happy :)

All the truck beds are from when the county puts storage boxes or flatbeds on the trucks
You may wonder why, like the fire engine. What you're failing to consider though, the sum of the parts is MOSTLY worth more than the whole. It's a lot of work, but it is rewarding.
They buy the truck and convert it so they don't need the bed. I've seen everything from flat beds to sprayers being installed.

Those new truck beds are where new ones are replaced with box bodies.

You should have a compression tester with you when checking out those engines
The county takes the truck beds off and put utility truck beds on
Yes anyone with HALF a brain cell knows that! Unless your this guy and also think a truck with a 7.3 motor and dual rear wheels is a f250. Boat motor went for almost double what his cheap ass was willing to pay... Just CLUELESS on MANY levels lol
You ever sell those motors? I need one that runs unlike mine. Lol
take a white sharpie and write "no oil pressure-broken piston" on it, then stand back and wait for the auction.
*snicker*
grease pen and yes good idea
Said same thing to myself. “Needs power head”
funkyzero that’s and awesome idea😂😂
this guys a genius
why do something criminal,,,,,its not your item,, and mismarking for deceit is a criminal act
Brand new truck bed meant that when they got new trucks they put a utility bed on and never used the stock bed.
I had a friend bye a fire truck at auction & he uses it for tree cutting. Work well
I bought a fire at auction and I use it for tree cutting. Work well

That would classify as an engine and not a motor. Motors are powered by DC current or AC current. Engines run on a combustible fuel.
Motor : a machine that produces
motion or power for doing work.

1: one that imparts motion; specifically: prime mover.
Good for additional information but generally speaking is correct!
Fire departments with a small budget purchase trucks like that so they can have nice stuff without going out of budget

me too
Where is this auction site? Looks like somewhere in Florida........
Nevermind. I'm hard of hearing. Heard it the second time. Sorry.
How about a link to the auction?
Congrats, your almost at 200k
Do you live in Tampa? If you ever need an extra set of mechanically inclined hands let me know! I’m learning but loving working on boats!
So I literally watched this whole video for nothing. Lmao
Will you take the actual auction? I love this stuff!
You pay for the winning bid and there is either an auction fee based upon the winning bid, or a minimum fee for the auction!
If the lower unit is broken then it’s peric’s old motor
Without a compression test or an actual on the water sea run, it ain’t worth shit! Probably has 5,000 hours and waste of time, buyer beware!
That also depends on the buyer.. perhaps they have a shop, parts and know how to repair.
That would be the Stern of the Skeg....!
A lot stuff.. i love it...in malaysia dont have junkyard sale like this..

Hate you didn't get the motor. I would have liked to now if it worked or not. How often do they have auctions? Enjoyed the video!
Can confirm machine at 7:30 is a giant military air conditioner for tents and such - army vet
they definitely replaced that motor because the prop hit something and they didnt trust it anymore

The truck beds are from replacing the beds with something else on new trucks.
They take the truck beds off and put the old ones on the have the boxes and stuff
No one wins at an auction, they out bid the other buyers, but they never win.
