Default Anotherone bites the dust

Old time used machinery dealer closes thier doors.

http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/tls/4786264512.html


Visited them several times, old geezers out of touch with
reality. Seems they were operating with a 1950's business
model. Sellthru didn't matter to them, SOS ever vist never
lowered thier prices on inventory that has been sitting for
10 years that i know of.

Inventory can be seen at:

Check out thier prices for some humor.

Best Regards
Tom.

Some of their prices were average..some were 30-40% higher than here
in California at Some dealers..some were lower than normal

Nevada is not exactly a hotbed of manufactureing..so its not
surprising if prices are higher than in areas where stuff is more
widely available.

Probably going to be one hell of a fine yard sale. Bring lots of money
and show up early. And bring a trailer.

Pennies on the dollar is my guess.
