Gas is always more exspensive at there stations. I have been having it.

@@podslammed5829 Yeah its oilfield country, go figure!

Jimmy !!!! There was no phone bidder. That's the oldest trick in the book !!!!!!!!

Boy Howdy! What a bunch of stuff! You could of got that plane for less than 100k. You was the only one bidding on it. I bet they went to the other phone guy and he said No thank you. So they went to you in the hopes they wouldn't lose there pants on the thing, And you fell for it. And this airplane has ben setting for over 40+ years. It's going to cost a fortune to get back in the air if that is even possible! Man you are even nuttier than me! But man Thank You for this video. And I wish you the best on this. And until next time. Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii!

I'm certaily sure that it wont fly again. Happy to be wrong, anyhow.

It might fly again .....in the cargo hold of a C-17 lol , but miracles happen , it's true i was born and if you had seen me you would think did my poor Mother survive !!! . And i was born a month early , can you imagine if i had gone full term !!! Any way she is out of the wheel chair now and Doctors say she might start to crawl again soon so good news eh 🙂

I think that if it is just given a good cosmetic restoration, it will be profitable to resell it without even attempting to restore it to airworthy condition.

@@Turboy65 Mate in the RAF we had a term for that and excuse my language " Bull shit baffles Brains " . So imagine a Bull Night in a Barrack Block , make it shiny and smell nice and they would be happy . How ever highly polished vinyl floor ....never use Sparkle or any other furniture polish as it turned it into an ice rink . Picture now a DI ( Drill Instructure ) travelling through sight and sound , their feet have just left terra firma and have passed a greater height that their ass . Gravity takes effect and always wins and the DI ends up as we would call it " arse over tit " . Imagine a 16 man room all of us stood to attention at the foot of our beds awaiting inspection and the DI proceeds to carry out what can only be described as a Matrix moment ...and shit it was a red pill right up their behind . So after a complete room sniggers the DI stands back up and says " If any one of you laughs or smiles you will get back flighted to the start " !!! and no one wants to get back flighted . So full metal jackets scenes with the DI and private Pile and even better the Barrack block was at exactly like two of the blocks at RAF Swinderby as it was filmed i believe at Bassingbourn which was an ex RAF base . So Anyway after the DI left with a slight limp .....the room burst into laughter . We didn't hate them in the end as we realised they pushed us and wrecked us but then built us up . To be fair in the end we actually liked them and they had this proud as punch parent thing going on .

🤣🤣🤣🤣😂

It's called ghost bidding and it happens ALOT!!

They are a Huge Scam, sadly everyone falls for it because we don't have a choice, specially if you want something that they have.

Exactly, if the person who bid 260k dispute and said they only bid 240k, why didn’t they sell it to them for 240k versus taking and additional loss of 8k by selling it to Jimmy. Something smells fishy and I live nowhere near the ocean.

That is my guess, I am assuming they were artificially jacking up the price, and got caught with their pants down.

Jimmy there is no other bidder. They were ghosting you for Priscillas benefit. I know a man owed 2 million by these pirates. They are the lowest of pond scum. Don't go through with it. By the time you disassemble this and do any restoration you'll be so far upside down there's no recovery. Don't burn money on high risk dreams. Your family is more important.

Dude...Jimmy needs to see this.

Ron Strauss, Elvis's pilot has said directly that Elvis had NOTHING to do with this aircraft... Good Luck...

Piece of junk!

@lonmcq7317 I've heard Ron asked about this plane and he said he flew for Elvis estate after he passed and he never saw the Roswell plane, Elvis never owned it

Is Priscilla lying about Elvis owning this jet ? What benefits her from lying

Yeh super scammy

Yeah, I'm sure the guys on the phone were not real.

It'll be back to the van by the river for Jimmy

Anything like mine, and she'd say "well, I hope it's big enough because you're going to be living in it alone"

@@russellallen4756A van by the river is heaven ...you have no idea the peace and tranquility of free dumping in a 5 gal bucket in the wilderness at dawn.....sipping a campfire coffee and not a bitchy sound for miles....a man can dream.....

My wife would say nothing. But I know that my budget is less than half of our budget. She’d reply with an Elvis jet’s worth of shopping herself.

Elvis fans are fading, ready bro.

Ouch!!! Sad but true. Great comment.

I wish I could give a thousand thumbs up to that comment. If you want to see one flying you will have to watch James Bond in Goldfinger. Thats likley the only way. It will make a fine museum piece. He will probably donate this one too when its run its course

Elvis is not dead, he just went home!

😅

@@Acelachaser1965 Such a great MIB quote lol

Talk about passive income. 😃

No they wont because us true fans know Elvis never flew in this jet. Only band members and security ever flew in it.

I live in the UK and your spot on has happened to me twice in car auctions, 😎❤️👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧💟

It’s called shilling, I’m a car dealer, This BS is real!!!

Ritchie Brothers does this on all of their auctions. That's why they asterisk *** out most of the user name. Also you can see many items of the same type mysteriously going for around the same price range. it's all fixed. With their attachments they give No warranty, It's all china crap with no support, no replacement or spare parts. They are like the Harbor freight of heavy attachments.

@@AK-kj6ec yep shill bidding, crooked

Shill bidding is what it’s called lol not shilling. Goose,

Yeah, they scammed this poor guy out of his 💵💲💰💸😏

@@e.g.truthseeker4673 yeah they did!!,

The phone bidders are verified. There’s Tons of over seas buyers. Even The owner of Gas Monkey garage has bought over the phone.

Totally agree, that was complete BS. At least one if not both of the phone bidders didn't exist. You got gipped Jimmy, you should have offered your original first bid of 50K and if they didn't accept it you should of walked away.

They're a huge auction house...I'm inclined to think they wouldn't do this at their scale, it's not worth the risk to their reputation. I think the jet didn't come close to the reserve and they heard what they wanted to hear from the phones. Look how LONG they let it hang at the end...it was dying on vine. There is no need to walk away, HOWEVER, I disagree that the final price should've been the minimum for the auction house to walk away with no loss. This was THEIR problem. I would've said $200k, all in, take or leave. Jimmy was in a huge position of strength here. You KNOW the seller was expecting their check (rightfully so). I can't imagine they would've let Jimmy walk away over $30k. That is a not a large amount of money for them....but it is for an individual who is at his spending limit already. If $200k was his high number, then he should've gone with that. Yes, with the 10% premium, that would be the walk away figure...so, anywhere from $200k to $220k would've been totally reasonable as an all-in offer. This was THEIR problem to solve, not Jimmy. He was HELPING them. The auction house was hosed here...zero choices. They can't re-list it, realistically. Jimmy was the second highest bidder...he's the best shot they've got. EDIT: reading through other replies, it looks like I might be wrong and that ghost bidding is a thing, even at this level. Daaaamn.

Rebuild Rescue, another aviation KZfaq channel, bid all the way up to 200k or 250k. I don't really think it was the auction house running up the price.

@@TheLegendizCody he said he did not bid in the video.

@@emtpayislow beard had a max of 250k tho, that's probably where that bid came from,cause Jimmy didn't vid,either way I would've paid someone to take that piece of shit, specially with no engines

One man’s junk is another man’s treasure!

They should have to pay someone to take it! 😂

I thought rebuild rescue had a bid up to $250g's.?

I believe you’re correct. Oh well, looks like the deal is done.

Maybe it was Rebuild Rescue that flaked out on the bid…???

It was a wild time for sure.

This comment is underrated. Priscilla held the gavel!!

#savethejetstar

This! The only right thing to do is get this bird back in the air. It would be so amazing to see a piece of history restored and back in flight again, and if the major hurdle is cost, I would think that there are a lot of organizations involved with Elvis heritage who would be willing to donate or organize a fundraiser.

If he can't get a 310 flying again, there is zero chance for this.

@@Stoney3K Seriously doubt that in this day and age.

This is C R A Z Y !! Terrific but C R A Z Y !!

I think Rebuild Rescue had it on one of their video's.

what a fuckin scam! how is this tolerated?

An auction company will always run the price to the reserve on a lot like this. I heard the auctioneer at 250k say we have hit the reserve..

@@chaunceywilliams8405 I understand the logic but how is this allowed to happen legally? I would think there would be severe consequences for this kind of practice.

Yeah same

You were saved Jimmy. Then you jumped back into the fire. This was not a good value. The other projects are better. Thank you for the video.

Me too. For at least 4-6 years I think, when some URBX video was posted on KZfaq about it.

Wow, thank you!

Rumor was He's going to fit it with running water, cable and a king size bed and Living in it when his wife hears the story Singing kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ouCBa6p1p6eceac.html Giving you a hard time JW Worked at Car auction Fla they started selling Government cars letting the public come in. Auctioneers that I was friends with would tell me how folks would spend three times the cars worth getting caught u in the moment. It happens. You old Hound Dog!😉

That's my wife's cousin. My wife looks identical to Elvis

Battle of the youtubers. 🤣

Rebuild Rescue gave up, it was out of his price range and he didn't want to mortgage his home for it!

He saw it was a waste of time and money, and it is.

I watched the bidding too. Like anything if it doesn't work out for Jimmy it can be sold again. Hey Jimmy? Does the wife know? You could be back in the motorhome again.🤣🤣🤣 I live over in Tampa and plan to visit Plan City ro see the plane if possible.

Jimmy is class and honest. Not the other!

I'm not so sure about that. Loretta Lynn's family has one, and it hasn't been that long since she used it.

I fly jetstars regularly in Australia 😁

Taking care of business

I'm Caught in a trap ....i cant walk out.......cause i love you too much baby ....!

That dream leads into 260K less money in your bank account and thats only the beginning. 😂

What was he smoking at that time?

@@mr.ginnationfunlifestyle3891 😄😄

Worst case scenario is that you can have it transported to the Tennessee Aviation Museum in Sevierville, Tennessee, because from clues in the photo, that's where they are, and donate it.

2/4/23....DID JIMMY ACTUALLY ASK "WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?" MY ANSWER IS---"EVERYTHING"!!!!

It looked very dodgy to me too.

Lmao put just the fuselage on simulator hydraulics

@@flyboieblair6636 that would be more than what the jet cost lol. I’m all for it! 😂

@@SquirrellyDan88 I’m genuinely surprised it didn’t sell for more money being what plane it is but it’s not worth it’s weight in scrap so yea😂

@@flyboieblair6636 the cool factor is what it has. I’m surprised too. But I’m also surprised that it’s not in the family or at Graceland.

Hello, do you have or know someone local that has a 5th wheel truck that can help us move a gooseneck trailer to the airport Sunday from downtown? email me at therealjimmysworld@gmail.com

Air bnb all the way Jimmy - keep it as a shell and get cash flow from day 1.

Can you email me at therealjimmysworld@gmail.com I would love to connect to those people. :)

@@therealjimmysworld I emailed you the plane museum number and some other info

@@therealjimmysworld I was recently at the museum and the engines are hallow. nothing but the outer shells. I'm not sure if they have the complete engines but if they do they are not on display just the engine cowlings.

He is going to need the jet engines for the plane pwr

I noticed in the background they had a Evel Knievel rocket too...not the one that crashed on the Snake River however. That one is in Topeka Ks soon to be moved to Las Vegas.

@@LauRoot892 The progress on restoring the ELVIS jet

@@LauRoot892 South Jersey(Southern New Jersey) and a big 'Howdy To You Too'.

Trying to get on your channel ;)

Lots and lots of sponsors coming online would be my guess.

Gonna take $230K to get it to floriduh.

The P.O.S airframe is probably still worth 100K to someone. What Jimmy did is buy a year or three worth of video content with the name Elvis, in the title - one of the most recognisable names in the world to people over say 40. Those are the people who will be watching the videos, buying the sponsors products and in most cases watching the embedded ads. It's a genius move even if it's a financial stretch. And at the end when it comes time to sell the plane as a display model, maybe don't use that dodgy auction house.

@@davenz000 I understand airplanes a lot better than mass media and I know Jimmy's a smart guy. I hope you are right. If anyone can make it happen it's him.

I think if he did buy it he got it for $260000

con man rebuild rescue ,,,,,

@@garyjones2335 how so?

They wanted that reserve met. Dirty auction tactics

That’s exactly what I thought, there was something fishy about the phone bidders. And what happened to the other phone bidder?

Actually he was actively bidding against Rebuild Rescue too lol

I’ve always questioned if phone bidders are real- this scenario makes me question it even more

As other person said above me, The other bidder was filming also so this one was real.
