This is auction fever gone bad , I have been to many auctions where two stubborn bidders go toe to toe , who actually wins when it gets emotional and someone overpays.

from the bid history and pattern it is clear that one person set a limit of 2500 because they could not be there live, and then the winner was someone who was willing to keep bidding against an automated bid... likely the entire time from 2000 onwards thinking "I bet just $25 bucks higher will win it, I can't walk away now"

Mine top was 16, because of the drive (ie..gas prices)

yeah, you should be grateful you did not win. They likely would have been useless as help on that end and the weather was going to get cold again on Friday.

I’d love the CX600, but right now it’s $2400 new, with a stand and warranty.

Yeah, I’m glad I bailed on that one.
I just threw an offer to the one in Gatineau. I also mentioned that he is asking new price.

I found my V13 lathe, after years of searching for one, on govdeals, in Ohio, which is a 24hr drive each way. There were three of them. All ended in bidding wars. I paid way more than I wanted to, but its an auction and it gets the blood pumping, and you start justifying it, just a little more and it'll be mine....

In hindsight, I predict that Mill will come up for auction again real soon.
Buyer's remorse and very frigid temperatures both coming into play.
