Default GLOAT great auction day




I feel like gloating, haven't had this good of auction day in quite a
while:


I got this weed badger for speculation only. New ones are $6K.

Tractor air compressor for pruning, mine is shot after only 30 years
of use. Not sure of a new price for this, probably $2K.
https://www.purplewave.com/cgi-bin/m...i?131023/E5206


I bought this mower mostly for speculation or spare parts. A new one
goes for $5K. Anyone with a GREAT memory knows I rebuilt mine this
summer. Wish this had come up before my old one died. Again, after
only 30 years of hard use.

Now i got enough work for winter, like I was worried about not finding
something to do in the shop.

No, about 50 welders, a giant CNC O/A torch, and a bazillion of other
things.

It's only too bad you didn't end up giving Iggy-type, super-low bids
-and- winning all the auctions.

Congrats. You suck.

Yabbut, what'd you end up with? The entire Russian Air Force's Attack
Helicopter Reserve unit and 6 years worth of fuel for it? g

Damn, and here I thought I might be able to get my own fully-stocked
Mi-24 at threadbare pricing, too... I don't even want to think what
it would cost to fly that thing home, though. g

My lumber/block supplier in Amish land has a MiG 25 in his parking lot.
