If you want some workshop equipment....

I’ve never seen so much gear in a sale, was some set up https://www.bidspotter.co.uk/en-gb/...ed/sia-group-auctions/catalogue-id-ibsia10214

480 jobs lost though, real shame.

Well thanks for that @B R C Just had to brows though all 3357 lots and it looks like November could be an expensive month

You‘re welcome, good job it’s a bit far for me. I would be keen on one of those scissor lifts if we didn’t already have the use of one of our tenant, they make life a lot easier when doing building works, electrical etc.

Shame I bet all the migs are 415 v some serious stuff there,

not shy with their 15% commission either !

Who’s near Altrincham that’s going to be the designated appraisal person... And who’s got storage space...

Shame you can't just buy 3 phase for sensible money at these sales to go with all the machine tools.

Yes I’ve just spent hours trawling through it all. Must be two pages just of g clamps ! There is a lot of useful stuff there, but not too sure about the welders. There’s so many its possible to end up with a duff one !
ive never bought on one of these timed auctions. Any advice ?

Usual thing - set a limit & don't be tempted to nudge it up. I usually put my bid in towards the end of the auction, leave it & do something else otherwise there's too much temptation to "give it another go". Unlike eBay, if you put a bid in during the last few minutes the lot closing time gets extended, in this case it is extended by ten minutes from the last bid, so sniping in the last few seconds rarely does much good.

Livestock store prices are through the roof too.
Every man and his dog has claimed self employed grant and bounce back loan and they're determined to spend it. It's put an artificial high in prices. The winners are the vendors and as usual the auctioneers.

Does anyone know if there will be any help with loading? Such as a forklift on site for any large items?

I fancy a gamble on the laser cutters

I’d go for the t-slot table and the big pedestal grinder

Yes I thought some was making good prices. I likewise bid on some but didn’t get anything
Some very cheap migs but condition very unknown ! The better looking ones were making not far off new price though and the bandsaws sold well considering what they looked like in the pictures
