it's a mix between salvager and this card
+1 buy
trash this. +1$ for each action card you have in play.
which is an idea i've played around with too, but I don't actually think it's good. the thing is, engines are already dominating most boards, and I don't like the idea of a card that rewards playing lots of action cards just for the hell of it. it kind of takes elegance out of the game, because the goal is now just to play as many action cards as possible.
i don't know how much impact it really has, since you need two of them to make it happen, but I dislike the concept. that's just me though, so feel free to ignore it
also, it's very close to being strictkly better than salvager, because you usually want to buy salvager turn 1 if you want it.
