TOO good to be true

I'd been scrapping about two years and was at a garage where I'd buy brake hubs and catalytic converters. A guy who happened to be there suggested I contact a junk yard a couple miles away. I went there and the owner asked what I pay for a pile of stuff (just about everything you could think of related to tearing down cars). The pile was about 20 feet at the base and 7-8 feet high. I'd never had anything like it and told him I had no idea how to bid it. Finally offered him $100 and he accepted. I only had a 4'x8' trailer. The scrap yard was 50 miles away. It would take forever to haul all this. Decided this was the time to get a bigger trailer which the wife had been telling me I needed to do. Contacted the trailer sales shop, They offered me $300 off a new 18' dual axle car carrier due to defective paint. I took it. I used it to take the tractor with pallet forks there and started hauling. He threw in another pile of fenders and doors, several motors and transmissions and another pile of brake hubs. That buy completely paid for the trailer and several hundred dollars profit. I've gotten some good deals since but none to match that one.
