I've looked at auctions. I'd love to go that way but for me it's impractical. First, they are typically a minimum of 450 miles from me. So traveling anywhere to physically look at something, that's all I would be doing, traveling. Secondly I haven't seen a Bridgeport go for $2K anywhere. There is an auction about 450 miles from me going on right now in MN for a Bridgeport Series 1 that has been heavily modified. Three weeks to go and it's already up to about $1800. Thirdly, every auction house I've looked at doesn't disconnect anything so I am trying to get a licensed electrician in a strange town just to disconnect it. Finally I haven't found one auction where anyone but the buyer is responsible for loading so now I'm rounding up a forklift, again in a strange town. It just doesn't seem to be practical. If I lived in OH, it would be a totally different situation, but I don't. Not trying to be a pessimist, just a realist. :thumbsup:
