There were bugger-all up here to start with. Even if less now, half of nothing is still nothing!

Seriously, economic times have been slowing in rural communities for a while now, as you would know. I suspect there has been an increase in the trend to turn resting relics into a modest sum via scrap. Also wonder if the general (wildly exadurated) belief that military vehicles are rapidly increasing in $$$ has meant that fair portion have already come up for sale in some form. Just going back a few years, since I have been on MLU in fact, I have heard of great numbers of CMPs coming into the collections of members here, one by one. Bloody pleased about it too! That has surely slowed to a trickle in recent times.

Would I be correct in saying there are more trucks coming up for sale on ebay, gumtree, Whats in Your Paddock, etc...? Looks like as farm auctions go down, individual sales online go up?!?!?

Guess it might just be the farms have run out or 'virgin' vehicles. Had to happen eventually, just as we once had tens of thousands of WWII Diggers...............now........nearly all gone too.
