Is anyone close or anyone bidding? I have some interest in a few items but no shipping would mean I would have to have someone closer to help me out, understanding the challenges of traffic in the GTA.

My 3 friends and I are bidding on over a dozen lots

correction: There are 47 lots on our watchlist

Over a dozen, which is to say, ~four dozen. :p

I've had a brief look at the auction, and while there's nothing I can't live without, it's pretty solid.
I appreciate the reasonable buyer's premium, and conducting the auction in the currency of the country it's ____ing held in. Guess the letters!

Is there any interest in, say, 'declaring intent'? The amount of money people can throw at things varies. I'm not interested in driving up a sale price idly to an amount I can afford to lose (it's not that much), when someone else is after something they've been pursuing on a budget for, say, ten years. I don't want it to lead to bad blood, but if folks can arrive at a gentleman's/women's (let's be optimistic about our demographics) agreement, that seems useful, to me anyway.

If I had to start, the Harig Grind-all looks interesting, and I'd be interested to the tune of... $250 total. So, a bid of ~$190.

Again, I'm free for most of Saturday, and don't mind picking things up, assuming the buyer can designate someone who isn't, say, carrying the credit card associated.
If needed, I can borrow the van from work.
 
I don't think I have time to drive things around the province in the near future, but I can certainly offer pick-up at work or home (both Etobicoke, bottom of the 427), most any waking hours.
Work van's a 2010 Ford E350 XLT Super Duty, so I could probably cram a good bit of the auction in there. :)

What a mensch!

dont worry, while the harig and the other grinding fixtures are among the lots we have tagged, we wont bid since you've declared an interest. I was more loooking to see if it would go for a deal and then pass it along to a member at cost because we have a plethora of grinding fixtures.

The same with many of the lots, like taps, or the metal, or the levels, the grinding wheel dresser, but I do need mills, and drill bits so expect me to bid vigorously on such things.. and some metrology stuff

The CHMW pony express can help.

I can deliver stuff to the GTA east, and the Milton/Guelph area, and I could possibly help ship smaller packages for the cost of the shipment.

Wouldn't it be nice if price collusion would work in our favour for a change?

Sounds like we are off to a good start!
 
Oh wow is there ever alot of goodies in there. I'd be watching about 75% of those lots and bidding on anything that looked like a deal :P
Be sure to post back here with all the plunder won
