I have bought a lot of things from this company including my current Unisaw, bigger bandsaw, scroll saw, drill press, house, etc., so I am not saying they are silly, but the seller must be. I bid $60 on a Triton spindle sander (to have as a spare/ second unit) from a school district about 60 miles from here and got the highest bid at $52.50. All I had to go on when bidding was a picture of the box and a description of 'used but in working condition'. There is always an approval that has to be waited for when bidding on school/government property, but always before whatever I bid was approved. Today I got an email saying that my bid had been declined by the seller but they had made a counteroffer of $250. This is more than a new one costs, so after a struggle I persuaded myself not to accept the offer. When I checked the past prices section of the auction company website the seller had posted that there was a $250 minimum bid on everything, so all that got sold were a planer and a bus. I don't know who would think they would get that much for a Craftsman radial arm saw, or a non-functional walk behind snowblower. I just hope that whoever oversaw the auction is not also teaching kids, as I would think the kids might not be able to learn very much in that case.
