Went to a semi-local auction yesterday. Just happened to combine three of my interests of woodworking, metal working, and scale model farm equipment.
Metal working tools sold strong. Little horizontal band saw brought $350. Enco bench top mill/drill brought $2,750 (it did have DROs and vice was included). 5C collet set, indexer, and holder all sold pretty high I thought.
Over on the woodworking side, there was bargains to be had.
Started out with a Grizzly G0555 bandsaw. It went for $300. Decent money, not high or low.
Then we moved on to the Grizzly G0586 jointer. It's an 8" model with a mobile base. It sold for $350.
Lastly he had a Grizzly table saw with accessories. Delta sliding table, 52" rails, aftermarket fence, mobile base, etc. It all went for $325.
Kind of a weird auction. The owner, a soft spoken older gentleman, was present and very involved. There was a lot of lots. Box of this, box of that. I guess that drives the price up. Nothing real high end. There were a few homemade things. Homemade box joint jig didn't sell. Homemade horizontal tilting router bench went for $40-$50 I believe.
I only kick myself for not taking the trailer. Probably would have bought the jointer and maybe the tablesaw. Keep in mind there was a 10% buyer's premium and 7% sales tax added on to all bids.
