Auction in Carstairs….. some interesting goodies

i have a few watched lots, the prices are getting high fast, RF45 is up to 2550 , 12x lathe is at 2500, and its only the first day
 
Interested to see what the rf45 goes for. Bought mine last year but only for 2k.

And what lot 222 goes for “Solid Pieces of Heavy Steel, Very Heavy”

Looks like the fella was a engine builder.
 
A few things I would bid on if this were local, but not worth the 36 hour drive one way to pickup :D. They've got some action on them already, so I don't think they'd go cheap anyway. (optical flats, and light). Curious at what they'll bring.
 
I was interested in the 8" chuck, but so far, you can buy a new chuck with reversible bolt on jaws for less so...
The broach set would be good, and the pin plug sets I'd like, we'll see
 
Prices were insanely high. I mean very high. Super high.

RF45 went for 7800 CAD (!) (new price?)
RF35 (very old one) for 1500
12x40 lathe for 5800 (more than new?)
Delta 14in bandsaw for 840 CAD (this is close to new price? I seen them used for 300)
8" rotary with chuck 525 (same as new)
8" 4 jaw chuck 320 (so way more than new)

You get the idea. I guess if you need to off load a lot of crap this is your auction house - prices are better than on FB marketplace or Kajiji. This is most expensive auction I have seen in Calgary area - great for selling stuff.
 
Considering you could buy a heavier and larger cx603 for $7000 plus tax. Or import a PM932 for roughly $5000.

I dont understand why that mill went for that price, which would be close to $8500 after tax and buyers fee.
 
Do you think they actually went through with the sale or what?

I've never been to or participated in an auction, other then ebay
 
You need a credit card on file to bid. I think the terms of the auctions stipulate that they can charge your card.
