David Lynch, Festool Owner…

[bertv]

The late director David Lynch was kind of a renaissance man; apart from making movies and tv he was a musician, author and apparently also a quite skilled woodworker. The ongoing estate sale (link below) contains quite a few Festool items, such as MFT's, systainers with tools, a Kapex et cetera. And a lot of homemade furniture.

That auctioneer has a 27% Buyers Premium, so be sure to factor that into your bidding.

The espresso machine (Lot #3) is already at $7,000, which is $1,600 over the cost of a new machine once the 27-percent buyer's premium and 3-percent online service fee are added. The description clearly states new machines retail for $7,500.

Other than the dust collectors, I have more......

REDRUM! REDRUM!

I'm heavily into collectibles so I get the whole "perceived extra value by virtue of who owned it", but I'm quite stunned by some of the bidding, well pretty much all of it really.

$1600 for a mug? And the script for Mullholland Drive is $8000, which would be along the lines of the most popular stuff I would have thought?

Sure there's gems there, and a lot of gear that would have wide appeal, but attaching a famous directors name to a lot of generic outdated technical equipment that normally goes for a song, wouldn't have resulted in such high resale value I would have thought?

The house that Bill Pullman and Patricia Arquette's characters live in, in 'Lost Highway' was owned by David Lynch and much of the furniture seen in it was made by him.

Without the markup the Festool prices are actually reasonable for used gear. The photography equipment there is in a different orbital level because of who owned it.

I think it is really interesting that he had nice German power tools and Italian bandsaws. I feel the connection even though he never touched my track saw. We have the same model!
