Take Nothing for granted. Inspect every vehicle as some of the pics aren't
even to the vehicle you're bidding on. When you inspect, make sure of not
only the vehicle number but also the sale number. Many vehicles from the same
yard have the same item numbers but different sale numbers. You might be
looking and a runner and bidding on a residue truck.

There are fewer and fewer sealed bids. Most are internet auctions like Ebay
but differ sllightly in the fact that the ending time is only after 15
minutes of inactivity. Weeds out snipe bidding and also gets GL the last
available dollar.

See above! Inspect or you might get surprised, not pleasantly.

My first EUC purchase took nearly 5 months. Others have been in a week.

Enjoy your experience!
