Hey,
I've never had a gloat before that I felt worthy enough to post on here. I've gotten some good deals on machinery but nothing that I thought wow. I almost had a gloat a few weeks back when I won this Blue M oven on ebay for $0.99 but the seller reneged. I'm still upset about that.
But a few days ago I won this auction for a 25HP Compressor without a tank for.. wait for it...$100. Ahhhh, I still can't believe I got this thing for $100. Maybe I should have waited until I had it in my possession to post this but I couldn't wait. I spoke with the seller and he's giving me two (yes two) compressor pumps. One is hooked up already and the second is a spare. Here's the auction.

The other great thing about this is his shop is less than a mile away from my shop. The chances of that happening, it makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside. I'm still surprised no one else bid on this, he sold a 60HP screw compressor for $100 also, crazy. He had a vacuum forming business that he is moving and didn't need to take the compressor. He had like 500-1000 gallon tanks but he sold those when he sold the building.
