In the past I usually found the best quality buys from schools that
were selling off shops.

Is anyone seeing this happen any more or has it become stuff for metal/
woodworking legends?

There's a school shop sale on the York, PA Craigslist currently. I
think the listing occurred either late last week or early this week.

I got my 12/24 Clausing lathe at a school sale 29 years ago.
The bidding stopped at around $500 and I almost had it at that price
and then somewhere the bidding started again. I'm not sure if I was
set up by a shill or not, but I got it for $805.
