Need early A parts? Not mine. Scrap yard going bye bye

There was a situation like that when I first moved to rural AZ. Local junkyard operated from 40's to mid 80's (all makes). Land sold, had to sell cars and clear the land !! Showed up offered 500-800 per car that I wanted, had my eye on 5 total. None of which had paper or rolled or were not parted in some way. Owner laughed at me. Wanted double or triple what I offered as soon as I showed interest. Scrapper called in two months later with portable crusher who paid 125. per car but they took them all. I wept. Wasn't it Jim Morrison who sang "people are strange"? Ever since I approach these things with great caution and skepticism. Would love to see an update to this thread if anyone goes up there to talk to sellers.
