I just called Rex. Yep he's already stopped selling and started boxing. The auction is a consignment sale with Starman Brothers in Oklahoma in June. He will start hauling stuff down there in May. If someone wanted the whole pile. Around $40,000 would do it. He has around 9 fuselages a number of wings. Lots of other stuff. No engines, those are gone.
I've never been there and have no idea what he has, or what it's worth. He is of course not the only choice in the salvage business. But sad to see him go just the same.
I'd be willing to throw some time and money into a good value on a parts inventory. But I'd need to learn a lot more about it really fast.
Your ideas?
