prices at auction?

Hi....Ive been to several auctions lately and am surprised at the prices things sometimes bring.

A 9 inch craftsman lathe, cross slide and carriage rusted solid, no tailstock, no tooling, no motor, no accessories. $150

Logan powermatic 11X40 lathe ,well used, no tooling or accs $3850

A Bridgeport clone import, no tooling or accs, went for $800

A large cylinder grinder, working condition, with tooling. no bids A large hone (12') no bids, not even from one guy who was said to be a salvage man.

This is in the Wichita, Ks area.

the lathes seemed very high to me, the mill so/so for no knowledge of true condition.

by the way the Wichita Boeing surplus store is closed indefinitely for audit and inventory after the Onex sale.

Hehe. The tool hounds around here are ferocious at auctions. Insane is probably a better word. I've saw a drill press, that was complete junk, go for $175 not long ago, and many other items are the same. We don't have much heavy industry and there just aren't many surplus tools, but apparently a pretty healthy demand. I've given up on tools at these auctions. On the other hand, I picked up two ceramic kilns, both needing work, for $5 each. List price new was $1800 and $2300. All of this was from the local school district. Other auctions are about the same.
