Anyone going? * *Most of the machines will not even fit in my building
but I'm going to look around. * *Some support equipment might be
useful. * Preview is today auction on the 14th.


bidspotter.com should have details.


Location is Allentown PA.


Somehow, I got a hold of their paper "brochure" for this auction... *The
stuff there is huge. *I was especially impressed with their steel plate
offerings and railroad cars.


If I was eccentric and rich, I'd be snapping up some cool stuff there for my
home. *For now, I'll have to settle for the eccentric and not-so-rich stuff.


I just got back they have 4060 lots, they intend to sell it all in a
single day.......Heard the auctioneer say he expects to get through
the first 600 lots in 45 minutes. * WOW.

Should have been a 2 or 3 day auction.

Tomorrow will tell.- Hide quoted text -

Not a good sign.

They will be grouping lots to make that deadline..lots of them.

Sounds like they already have a set of buyers set up.
