I very seldom go to auctions.Seems like the auctioneer farts around all day selling junk and holds the good stuff til late in the day.And if there is something I am interested in there are always a lot of other bidders running the price up.Many years ago I was in the market for a 225 amp AC weler,commonly referred to as a buzzbox.At the auction there was a Lincoln just what I was looking for. it went for $135.and at the time you could buy a new one for $85.I dropped out of the bidding at $65.cause it looked like it had been well used and abused.Same thing on a Crsftsman radial arm saw one at the auction that was pure junk,all rusted up and nothingon it would move. It went for $425. I bought a newer one about a month later for $300,in like new condition.I still have that saw and use it a lot.
