Check the price this used Baldor 712 grinder went for!
http://www.hoffhilk.com/new/scotia_online_day2.htm ITEM 2079 $350.00

Check the price on a new one. Granted there is no stand but dang that seems
high for a used one.

I dropped out of a bunch of lots from that auction as the bidding just got
out of hand. There seemed to be a lot of bidding way up into the high
fractions of new prices, and quite a number of over-new price bids. For
another example, a 2-ton Phase II arbor press (non-ratcheting) selling for
$65 when the new, everyday price from Enco is $49.95.

This has happened to several Hoff-Hilk online auctions in the last several
months. There isn't a lot of transparency to bidders either.

I did get a nice mill at a super price a couple of months ago, so it isn't
all bad.

I was looking at the Dayton 6X9 belt sander and a Kalamazoo 1" but I am
going to buy new instead. I also had my eye on the Webb vertical mill but I
didn't have a chance to look at it in person so I passed.
