Anybody want to upgrade?

I assume this would be an upgrade for most of us:

Over 16 feet long. Believe it was used by Ontario Power Generation (OPG). Located in Atikokan, Ontario. More pics in the listing:

Minimum bid is only $1,550 but of course it is a blind auction so you've got to offer the max it is worth to you! They'll even help you load it on a flat bed.

There were couple of this size in AB for sale recently. Two sold for just 1200 or so. The other for 5000. Guess its all in finding the right buyer for the big ones.

An actual gem sold for little - https://www.gcsurplus.ca/mn-eng.cfm...1&str=51&ltnf=1&lcn=469241&lct=L&sf=ferm-clos

Its a small tiny cutter grinder for just 350 with all the accessories!

Now on auction here bare cutter grinder (large one) went for 1000 with fees and one with workhead, smaller I tried to bid on went for 1500 with fees. That guy with these boxes of tools... man 2000 easy.

I have never bid on anything from a government auction. What is it like to get the item shipped to you? Do they help you with suggestions of shipping companies like some commercial auction houses or do they give no help at all?
