It appears that most vehicles listed on online DOES NOT have a "For Sale" sign on it. I often walk by and see a vehicle with "For Sale" sign on it. I figure that the vehicle probably is not listed online. When I see a vehicle like that, I sometimes take pictures and phone #. I won't do that with a 10 years old Honda Accord. I figure that if a person wants a 10 years old Honda, they can find one without my help. If I was walking by and saw a 1965 Chrysler Newport with "For Sale" sign, I would take pictures and phone #. I figure that the seller is waiting for someone to walk by and notice it. No need to go online. I'm sure people would love to have some help finding a 1965 Newport for sale. That is where I come in handy.

A lot of vehicles have sold or been bought with old fashioned "For Sale" sign on it. I want to make someone's day. I just think it's cool to share special interest vehicles online and comments even if I don't know who owns it.

My latest one was a 1980 El Camino in NW Indiana. I don't think I'll ever want to own one. I took pictures and a phone #. I don't care about owners. I just hate to see vehicles sit and rot. I want to help find them homes :).

All that's fine and dandy but you need to get your cut. You don't work for free.

True.... I don't go out of my way to take pictures. I always see them on way to or from doing something. I don't search for anything. I see what I see when I walk my dog or stop to get ice cream. If someone wanted me to try look for something specific, I may ask for compensation somehow.

Sometimes, it's fun to have discussion about vehicle that I see for sale. You know, try figure the story behind it. What kind of person may want to buy it? What may they do with the vehicle? What would you do if it was yours? You know those kind of things.
