Thread: Interesting auction

Some nice additions to the shed here

Metalworking, Toolmaking & Engineering Equipment - Vic

Some nice stuff there.
Some of the pallets of tool steel have quite low bids on them so far.
You have to wonder about some of these auction places though. Some of the lots have been written up by someone who obviously doesn't know much about engineering. ie a couple of machine vices listed as "machine clamp attachment" and a couple of rectangular magnetic chucks as "machine bed attachment"
This could be good for a potential buyer but not so good for the vendor who the auctioneer is supposed to be working for.

That horizontal borer is a nice looking bit of gear. Love to have something like that. Dunno what I'd use it for, I suppose I'd think of something. LOL

I think its nice that the 3 jaw chucks come with "spare jaws".

As far as their listings go. If they spent the time to fully list all the items some of these lots there would be pages of stuff and that would cost the seller a fortune..... so I guess its a balance. I saw one the other day that had 6 milk crates of stuff. Two of them appeared to be full of little sutton plastic boxes, not many sutton boxes have something worth less than $10 in them.

Doubt they will sell much of the bigger stuff... Prices are a bit high, once you add on the buyers ripoff and then rigging costs..

I could make room for some of that gear. The postage would kill any deals for me.
