That's some crap they're pulling recently. There used to be zero money for deposit to bid on those lots, then they slapped $50k deposits on it and now $100k. They're deliberately trying to price people out of those lot types in the last year.

Wow, those T-33 look to be in great shape too and nearly complete. I guess whomever buys these can't have them until they are all chopped up into little pieces?

What a waste!!

So I guess that's why it's so hard to find neat items like T-33 ejection seats for sale since they all get chopped up now? :(

If it's listed on that site it destined for be 4x4" shredded after those lots strip them of used parts. Might make sense for the F-15s and A7s listed, but shredding T-33s and T-37s seems a total waste because of their lack of tactical value.

Who in their right mind would put down $100k deposit for the right to remove a couple instrument panels worth of gauges? IMHO, they list these auctions to make it look like these are being made available, but put them out of reach from everyone. They obviously don't want you to bid on these things.
