Metal working tools sold strong.  Little horizontal band saw brought $350.  Enco bench top mill/drill brought $2,750 (it did have DROs and vice was included).  5C collet set, indexer, and holder all sold pretty high I thought.  

Over on the woodworking side, there was bargains to be had.  

Started out with a Grizzly G0555 bandsaw.  It went for $300.  Decent money, not high or low.

Then we moved on to the Grizzly G0586 jointer.  It's an 8" model with a mobile base.  It sold for $350.  

Lastly he had a Grizzly table saw with accessories.  Delta sliding table, 52" rails, aftermarket fence, mobile base, etc.  It all went for $325.  

Kind of a weird auction.  The owner, a soft spoken older gentleman, was present and very involved.  There was a lot of lots.  Box of this, box of that.  I guess that drives the price up.  Nothing real high end.  There were a few homemade things.  Homemade box joint jig didn't sell.  Homemade horizontal tilting router bench went for $40-$50 I believe.  

I only kick myself for not taking the trailer.  Probably would have bought the jointer and maybe the tablesaw.  Keep in mind there was a 10% buyer's premium and 7% sales tax added on to all bids.

Guessing they will want double that.
