Here's my auction, and yard sale finds over the last couple weeks.

Got a pallet of welding rod, about 20 boxes, for free.

Just a couple welders and a couple of big hammers and torches.

That definitely a nice score. My best lately were clist finds. Got a 4x6 horizontal band saw for $100 and a running, functioning 81 Honda nighthawk for a project build for $400. Sorry no pics

You mean that little blue box on the pallet?

They have 700 written on them.

One of the smoothest rods I've run.

Like 7018.

Thank God, there was no 6013.

Nah the plastic wrapped blue and white one at the back. Looks great, you never need to buy another rod again.

Oh,
Those are plain old 1/8 7018.
Not the best 7018.
There's only like 5lbs of them.

My greatest deal...a Brown & Sharpe #5 Hydraulic Surface Grinder for $420 on auction. To replace it new would be well over $20K. The magnetic chuck alone costs $2400 and that came with it!

2nd greatest deal ever was a 2 ton Lodestar chain motor for $110 and it came with a Miller Thunderbolt welder.


The greatest deal I ever lost was a Brown & Sharpe O.D. Grinder, I had it bid at $700+ and got sniped. That was easily another $20 -$25K machine.
