In so doing, over time, the community can then have some albiet unscientific data to refer to regarding just how prevelant this issue may be (at least in Bat auctions) although it would stand to reason that the numbers (wherever they land) could, theoretically at least, be applied more universally .\r\n\r\nMy plan is to do this for as long as a year, unless the \u201cdata\u201d shows a proponderance of the evidence either way.\r\n\r\nThe survey will be listed as follows:\r\n\r\nTotal # of machines counted so far (including this one): 129\r\n\r\nTotal machines with weld etc issues: 16\r\n\r\nTotal machines with no weld etc issues: 102\r\n\r\nTotal machines where seller did not share weld etc photos: 10\r\n\r\nTrack cars with reinforced subframes: 1", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1680469965, "type": "comment"}]
