Cool auction finds

i'll take a jog down memory lane...i'll convert my own currency to euros since that seems like a fairly common currency on here
i'm using today's exhange rate...just note that it would have been cheaper back then
i bought a 5efhe complete engine with all accessories probably in 2002/2004 for around euro$620
4efte engine in 2006/2007?? for euro$530
i bought another 5efhe head and block with ACIS manifold around 2008/2009 for approximately euro$530
last time i checked about 5 years ago, a complete 4efte engine with ECU and harness was around euro$1100
gearboxes tend to go around euro$350/450

I think he's been shut down and restarted about a dozen times since then. Environmental agency was all over him at the last. Haven't heard anything in years but hopefully he's still kicking about!

Good old Eddie lol, yea he gave zero fucks about the environmental fines and just kept paying them, same as Bangor scrapyard, Bobby just kept paying the council fines at the office monthly for years lol
