    Thread Starter: Josh Baldwin

    Did your 2023 homeowners insurance cost go way up? What are you paying?

    Thread Starter: Andrew Joiner

    Thread Starter: Zachary Hoyt

    I had the high bid tonight on this Rockwell/Delta 28-350. I've been looking for and bidding on these for the last few years, and I was the back bidder a few times, but this one went for a very good price. My reserve bid was $600. It's possible that there's something terribly wrong with it, but...
