    Wanted: 1/4" #2 Number Metal Stamp

    A bit of a long shot but since we're all (or at least almost all) hoarders here, I thought I'd put it out here. I have a 1/4" number stamping set, but it appears I'm missing my "2" stamp. Yes, I'm aware I can just buy a new number set from Princess Auto for $10. But on the off chance that...

    These auction rigging fees are ridiculous...

    Definitely seems like bidspotter is getting into monopoly territory in terms of these types of auctions...

    These auction rigging fees are ridiculous...

    A bit of venting post. I get the odd email from bidspotter about upcoming auctions and seeing as one came up in Calgary I thought I'd have a look. But man, these fees are bonkers. Every item has rigging fees on it, starting at $25. I'm not sure what kind of advanced rigging they're needing for...

    Colchester lathe, $1500, Nelson BC - Needs work...

    This looks to be one of the free lathes listed earlier, so not exactly a deal, more like a good tidy profit... And yet, it somehow looks in worse condition now -- Maybe dropped in transport? The chip guard is all bent now...

    WTB Adjustable parallels

    I got a used starrett 6pc set off ebay for $60. There's always lots of used starrett or lufkin ones available.

    Free Lathes in Nelson BC

    I was a being a bit cheeky with my post, I doubt it's an insurance claim. Judging from the foliage in the pictures, these machines were put to pasture long before the explosions happened. I'm truly amazed that no one was seriously hurt when those tanks blew. I'm a little ways away from that...
