Let's talk donor auctions.

[NicksPapaw]

I am starting this thread for a couple of reasons. First, I have no experience with insurance auctions. Second, I don't want to pay for that education, (as in bad buy, wrong auction company, etc.) So, here are the questions:
1. Have you used the insurance auction houses for purchasing your donor?
2. How did you know what you were actually buying? Someone inspect it for you?
3. What fees really end up being added to the deal at the end of the auction?
4. Did you pick up yourself, or did you have it shipped?
5. If you had it shipped, who did you use, what was the cost, and how long was the distance?
6. If none of these applies to your donor, then how did you source yours?

This should help a lot of us looking for that right donor.

6) I got a donor pallet from AMP Performance in Phoenix. I don't know if they still sell donor pallets. I talked to Tom Thompson and took great care of me.
