That $150 is the starting bid. In my experience the scrap metal guys are 
already well aware of this lot, and it will go for scrap metal prices by 
the time all is said and done. I had the same thoughts once about a lot 
of aircraft wheels, I figured I'd buy them up cheap and scrap them. I 
was shocked for how much they ended up going for. Make no mistake, Gene 
is probably the only guy looking at this auction thinking "Cool! F-15 
ladders!" Everyone else just sees a big pile of metal.
