A dealer friend of mibe bougght a Chevy 3/4 gasser at auction 2 years ago for 27k for his personal truck. He didnt use it much so he put it in an auction last month. It sold for $51k. Its crazy right now. I am waiting myself. I only pay cash, and while my trade is worth top dollar I have to pay a premium for a new or used ride. F-150# that were selling for $36k to $38k 2 years ago have prices listed at $55k here locally.
