There's a MINT 2011 Denali LML Duramax/Allison tranny with 14,xxx miles on it selling at an auction this month in TN and I was wondering what your max bid would be for it. This is a farm community and people have a bad habit of paying way over what things are actually worth. I suspect a diesel with 14k on it is going to be pretty ridiculous.

It doesn't have a scratch or dent, has been garage kept, interior is incredible for its age. Engine bay is very clean. Oil looks like relatively new synthetic. Tires look good, and no leaks or drips underneath. The owner passed 3 years ago and the truck has just been sitting except for starting and a short drive once or twice a year. Motor sounds great, but no test drive at an auction to see how it is on the road.

Any ideas on a reasonable bid price?

My dying parent wants their house, bank accounts, and pretty much everything split evenly between myself and my sibling after my parent dies.

Long story short, my sibling has been a deadbeat/financially irresponsible for decades and clung to my parents' coattails through their adult life. The deadbeat has taken >200k+ from my parents over this period, and not paid much of it back.

The problem is that the deadbeat just moved back in with my parent, with the intention of staying in the house after my parent passes, for at least a year to "get their shit together." Unfortunately, my parent can't bear to say no, so it leaves me in conflict.

I have no intention of maintaining my parent's house, and will want it sold ASAP. I can foresee major problems, the worst of which is that the deadbeat will refuse to sell, refuse to move, and require an eviction somehow because they will own half the estate. The deadbeat will have no issue with staying in the house and not paying the taxes/upkeep/etc until it is foreclosed and everything my parents worked for their whole lives is wasted. I am not in a financial position to carry another property at this time.

Is there anything we can set up legally BEFORE my parent dies, and if we can't, what can be done if the only thing in force is a will that sets forth only that "all their proceeds will be split evenly?" Even if I could talk my parent into leaving the house solely to me with the intent to give the deadbeat their half, this would turn into an eviction type of procedure. The deadbeat has already done the failure to pay their mortgage for a year and half before being evicted by the bank play.

An agreement between myself and the deadbeat will not happen. Even if one was drawn up, the inevitable deadbeat's "change of heart" would happen after my parent passed.

I don't know wtf is wrong with ToS over the last few months, but I've hit my limit in patience with this platform.

I mainly trade SPY which has a .01 spread all day, every day. If I don't have a LIMIT order set already, I will usually BUY BID. Even with stable bid/ask for a few seconds, my orders are NOT filling.

Forget trying any other ticker with a few cent spread, fills are not happening there either.

Yes, data is real time. Yes, I have an 8gb fiber connection. No, I do not know wtf these clowns are doing other than trying to have you MARKET in and out of all trades. I understand they need to sell my order data to the market makers before it's filled, but this is outrageous.

I'm in an area with light restrictions - no chickens, no junkyards, no mobile/modular homes.

After discussing enforcement of those restrictions with the developer, he said it is up to the RESIDENT to get a lawyer and go to court to have the rules enforced, as the developer has no enforcement power.

I have a 3 acre property that I'd like to place a modular home on, mainly due to time constraints and that the quality of the build is vastly superior to what I've seen built on my primary and other nearby properties. MODULAR homes are NOT mobile homes, and are attached to a permanent foundation. The only difference between a modular and stick built is the large modules are built separately and then tied together, and stick built are mostly monolithic. This potential build could definitely add value to the neighborhood if it's completed as envisioned.

So the question is, although it's entirely possible to "get away" with building a modular here, has anyone found a legal way to circumvent these restrictions by possibly getting written permission from the adjoining neighbors or some other way to avoid the inevitable dickhead neighbor just looking to cause problems?
