Yes and no - they want you to pay for information made public by law for free...

We have to hold auctions for vehicles valued over $4000 and have to post the auction datein the local paper -by state law - 10 days prior.

Feds do it slightly different, but there websites that witha little internet research through Googlewill give you all the info you want. It's kinda like paying $40 for them to tell you where your local post offices are located.

I think that was a very "under the radar" spam posting.

+1

However, I've got a couple of thiose types of websites bookmarked (from "inside," so you won't hafta $$$ anything to browse.) PM me if you want the link(s), but, understand that this isn't a high priority for me, so I'll get to it when I get to it...

looks like a repo site and not uncommon even here in the UK you get good stuff at low cost because of some one else's misfortune
