price feeler

That's just it. you have to look and see what the avg price in your area is. Because somebody giving you an answer in Alabama would be way off.

Or someone in Arizona. This is absolutely correct. You need to take into account the situation around your area. My truck prices will not be anywhere near your truck prices. I have many times been tempted to get myself a flatbed and start buying trucks here and taking them back east to be sold. I could make a very solid living doing it if I could stand to be in my truck all day long.

For example, I bought my old LB7 crew cab long bed loaded with every option for $9500. I ran it hard for a year and sold it for $17K. Granted I put a few thousand in it just in toys but I still cleared several thousand. I could do this all day long if I had the time and resources.

I live in AL, and was recently at several auctions.

Here's the skinny. DMAXs are HIGH right now! I witnessed three 100K plus trucks in the 01-03 range that were in decent shape (loaded, but used) go for 19K +.

I would think prices would be the same all over the SE. The way I see it, the only way a buyer is going to find a deal, is by finding someone who doesn't know what they have.

Somehow I knew a person from AL would come foward. That was the first place that came to mind.
