I haven't looked through it yet, but it looks like they have pretty much every style you could want.

Many of these busses have been up for sale before and didnt sell. About 80% are rollers for salvage use. Many of the rollers are propane too, which likely isnt your cup of tea for a Skoolie. But there are a few potential gems in there!

In particular I think Lot #14 may warrant further investigation if you are looking for a conventional style with a DT466. Several good FE's in the bunch too.

Just for the record...there was a little book published a while back called "The Millionaire Next Door". In it they listed various callings & professions. The job title with the most millionaires...Auctioneer.
Which makes sense if you think about it. They typically don't have a storefront to keep up, they have no inventory to maintain or pay taxes on, and...they make money on every sale even if the actual seller takes a loss.

Not a bad gig.

Yeah, I noticed the Lemons auctioneer in TX. Not a real good name for selling used vehicles.
