I know that "everything is relative", but I wouldn't consider these
machines "huge". Nice home shop tools. They weigh about 2500 pounds
each, according to the data provided. There is a HUGE error in the ad
for the third one; "6.3 amps max load" is too light for this machine
and "capacity of 100,000 RMS amps" is more befitting of a HUGE
transformer than a milling machine. If I had the room, I wouldn't mind
having one of them in my shop.
If you are considering bidding on one, don't forget the the tooling
can easily cost you more than the machine will cost.

Does anyone know how much these beasts weigh? The irony is that right
now I do have a 3 phase generator in my yard, enough to run the first
machine mentioned. They are probably too heavy though.

It's a very rare occurence to find any machine tool up for bid at
govliquidation that hasn't been totally ruined by sitting out in the weather
for a couple of years. Can't remember how many Monarch 10EE lathes that
were totally trashed by exposure to the elements. That's_my_tax money being
thrown away there. It's just a damned shame.

Things were a lot nicer when you could go down to the DRMO and look at all
the items before bidding. Our local one (Selfridge ANGB) used to have
monthly auctions and cash/carry sales. Then they cut personnel and did
fax/internet bidding for a while. I guess you cans till go to inspect an
item you're bidding on but you have to make an appointment...

Ayup...good home shop machines for the serious hobbyist.

Though they weigh about 3600 lbs for the small one.

That DH is mighty nice

My wife will murder me if I buy one of those milling machines.


The wife and my machinery..
My wife comes home from work, sees a forklift sitting in the yard. She
asks "Whose is that?". I reply, "mine". She asks"What are you going to do
with THAT?". My reply "MOVE **** with it".
Wife nods head acceptingly, goes on into house.
That's one reason that I re-married her after we were once divorced for
three years.
Key item early on was to keep my money, her money, and joint living
expense money as separate entities.
You single guys better arrange this before marriage if you want to try it.
It sure as hell won't fly afterwards, in most cases.

Somewhat interesting on the runup in prices in the last few hours or
minutes. When I looked at them from the original posting the 3 machines
were all at $100 or less with just over a day to go. All 3 of them went
for $750 to $1000 each A bit of sniping going on?

SNIPING???!! That seems to be the name of the game on ebay today. Every
item I've watched jumps in price exponentially within the last few minutes
of the end of bidding.
Anyone else seen this?

We did that and it has worked out great. We already had our
own separate checking and credit card accounts prior to marriage.
We opened a joint checking account and got a joint credit card
account (two cards). We each make equal contributions to the
joint account each month and all "joint" expenses are paid from it.

You may wish to adjust the "equal contribution" factor for
your own particular circumstances, but since our incomes are
roughly equal, this works for us.

It has been 15 years now and we both highly recommend it.
If my wife wants to splurge on some special fabric, yarn, or
the pens she collects, it is none of my business. Likewise,
she doesn't quiz me about the boxes from MSC, Powell's, etc.

I agree. With my first wife most of our issues came down to money - I earned
it, she spent it. 2nd wife we do just as you describe, joint contibutions
adjusted for the (diminishing) variance in income. I buy toys as I want and can
afford them, she buys cars and clothes likewise. I have no idea what she has
in her account, but it's a joint account in case of emergency.
I highly recommmend it, although it may not work as well for a couple living
paycheck-to-paycheck. Requires a sharper pencil and more communication, at the
very least.
