The drill press seemed a lot like ours and surprisingly went for over $160.<br>
There were a couple misc boxes of tool stuff that went for only a couple bucks, but you had to know they were there. It was a bid to get first pick of what box(es) you wanted.<br><br>This was no Sotheby's auction... it was an estate liquidation (overheard rumors of the wife & husband guilty of embezzlement). There was a lot of junk, but the junk went for very cheap. There were in fact two auctioneers going at the same time and thus impossible to really follow both. Both because of the multiple auctioneers and the type of auction, I can't emphasize how helpful it would have been to get there earlier and really dig through the stuff. One auctioneer went down the lines of mostly junk with bidders huddled around bidding for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. pick until everyone would stop outbidding anyone else and just pick what they wanted for $1/box, then the remaining boxes went all together when nobody would pay even $1/box. The other auctioneer semi-randomly skipped around selling the more expensive items. We left around 1, and there was still a few tables of stuff, lots of misc stuff inside, and furniture to go. There were some more tools inside the house, but I don't think it was worth waiting for, except maybe the tool chest, but there was no way I could fit it in my car with any of the other items I bought (maybe even note at all). It was very helpful to have Chris there as he could watch the stuff while I tried to follow the auctioneers.<br>

We have a milling machine (can double as a drill press with lots of cranking) and a Lathe in terms of machinery. However, Dremel's are always welcome :-D.<span><font color="#888888"><div><br></div></font></span><div>

<div>I spotted this auction next weekend. Looks like a rural
estate, with a sizable toolshop. If you've never bought from a
real-world auction before, it can be an early morning and
all-day experience, but you can come away with some astonishing
bargains.</div>

<div>I'm interested in going, and bringing a few bucks to buy and
donate tools. Anyone else down? We'd need to be there about
7:00 AM. </div>

<div>I was especially thinking about the </div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>dremel</li>
<li>circular saw</li>
<li>miter saw</li>
<li>belt sander</li>
<li>drill press (I actually own the craftsman 10" model; it's
basic but handy)</li>
<li>any misc lots of hand tools</li>
</ul>
<div>
The tool chest and bandsaw would be fantastic, but it's
unlikely I'd be able to transport them (I'm in a station
wagon).</div>
