I saw one mini-mill, one larger mill, a few large floor drill presses,
one tractor w/ bucket and 2 PTO-tillers for same, and a lot of really
nasty furniture.
Wow, that was a big one!! They didn't have any of that stuff at the last
one I went to... except for the furniture maybe. :-)
I wonder if I take the ad into the HF store if he'd give me that price
on either model...I'll have to try that.
My local store has always been happy to honor online sale prices but they
won't normally give you a different item for the same price unless they're
out of the one that's on sale. They may give you a better price on the
floor model though. They often put them on sale for half price which would
be about $65 for this one:

P.S: Why the top-posting? Quote for context and toss the rest for a
much easier read.
That's what I used to do before a couple of people bitched at me for not
leaving the whole message so they could follow what was going on. I hate
bottom posting because, with my newsreader at least, it makes it a lot more
trouble to go through all the new messages but some people insist it's the
ONLY way you should do it. So now I quote for content as you suggested and
often leave the full message on the end and people are welcome to read it or
ignore it. Unfortunately there are a ton of different ways to do it and no
one way makes everyone happy so I just kind of do my own thing. :-)
Best Regards,

Homier Corporate will be getting a nice letter from me in the very
near future.
They seem to be doing that more and more lately. I've hit about 6 of
their
shows over the last couple of years and each time they have less and less
of
the larger items.
Fewer and fewer, too, huh? g
They rarely have the lathes and I don't think I've seen
one of the mini mills in the last 4 shows. They also used to have MIG
welders and even the occasional plasma cutter but all they had like that
at
the last auction was a tiny stick welder. They even had tractors at one
sale a year or so ago.

They're selling from smaller and smaller buildings too so I guess that's
part of the problem but their shipping is outrageous so I doubt I'll ever
buy anything from them that I can't get at the local sale.
I think the building was about 40x80' here. Yeah, it's $32 and change
for shipping that bender to me. Screw that, and screw their shows.
Is there a Harbor Freight store anywhere near you? They have their bench
model on sale for $50:

Yeah, 25 miles away, thanks.
It should be the same except for the base and I made my own base anyway
because I have a square stake set in concrete that I can set it on for use
along with a small tire changer and a plate shear I don't have room to
mount
permanently.

on either model...I'll have to try that.
