She had some impact wrenches, a generator and some mechanics tools. Everyone won’t be as excited as John Drew was when he brought in a milling machine, a dyno machine, two tow motors and two power lifts to an event in Conway, Arkansas. He got a check of $1,18,000 which was an extreme situation but those tools are out there and we have people all over the world that will buy them. Lot of people leave out with a check for a few hundred bucks or more. This gives the opportunity to sell the stuff and get it out of the garage.
