Those were the days 'Without Reserve' The only time you see that now is bankruptcy or Baillif sales. Give an idea of prices though, Ron who owns our yard tells me he bought a three ton Dodge from auction for £300, worked it into the floor , no hours then, if you could get the fuel to haul a load you were in the money (Knowing Ron as he is now, wouldn't even want to ask about how he got fuel). He eventually sold it for £400 and bought his first house.
