In our area clubs FB page this has popped up a few times recently... Anyone know anything about these buses in a field somewhere in central New York?

define protective. Wont sell shit? Wants them to rot? Or just doesn't like people snooping around his property, Laughing Maybe the classic protective with small amounts of lead inside brass casings.

All I can do is share what I find...

...and yeah I'm not a bus person, but... I keep seeing him offering them up in our local FB club page so, it just got me curious if (or why) I haven't seen any of the lot or any of them offered individually on here as of yet....

I dunno, inquiring minds want to know I guess... : )=

$45K for 18 junkyard buses, none of which are all that interesting sounds like retail to me. he'd be better off selling them one at a time.

What a shame. Those are rotting away day by day. Or should I say, dollar by dollar.

The guy who is selling them (not the owner, could never get a straight answer who actually owns them) is a jackass. Lots of people have contacted him about them and he talks a bunch of smack, then berates the person showing interest. Pretty much all the busses there are gone gone, and he has claimed to have taken deposits from the UK, Cali, and SA.

I think the whole thing was just a scheme to either gain internet notoriety, or promote his head shop.
