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. -- Regards, Joe Agro, Jr. (800) 871-5022 01.908.542.0244 Automatic / Pneumatic Drills: http://www.AutoDrill.com Multiple Spindle Drills: http://www.Multi-Drill.com Production Tapping: http://Production-Tapping-Equipment.com/ Flagship Site: http://www.Drill-N-Tap.com VIDEOS: http://www.youtube.com/user/AutoDrill TWITTER: http://twitter.com/AutoDrill FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/AutoDrill V8013-R |

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. |

I have the brochure on that auction and sure would like to attend but I am in the middle of doing two emergency repair jobs for two companys and cannot take the time off. I sure could use some heavy plate to put under one of my machines. Otherwise I will have to put in a pit. John |

Was out bid on all the welders, they did have a few nice pulse MIG machines. I left at 6PM they had around 800-900 lots to go. What's a 4 roll plate roller worth? nice one with 1" x 10 foot capacity. went for 315,000 they said replacement was 2mil. |

How many rings did they have going? Good turnout? Any foreign buyers visible buying serious iron? FWIW...I have seen some screaming deals in the ending hours of an industrial auction..quality stuff going for fractions of cents on the dollar. In my experience, welders always go high...even the scrap..there are only a few companies left in that niche and they have an monopoly. I expect that to change as the older stuff dies off...the newer stuff has much less value in terms of parts and raw scrap. Iggy's latest purchase was a real coup in that respect. ;) TMT |
