STILL UPSET 3 MONTHS LATER

[billybokay]

I went to a woodworking bancruptcy auction a few months ago. Hundreds of assorted used tools and assted lots.
With 50 buyers there no one seemed interested in the two systainer racks full with systainers but locked. I could not see into the systainers to see if there were tools or anything in the systainers. Everyhting is sold as is where is, etc.
  Well the auctioneer starting the items at 25 dollars for plastic tool boxes. I bid 25, and 1 other person started to bid with me 50, 75 and so on. Only the 2 of us knew anything about festool. Well I stopped when they reached 300 each and the other guy got the items. I bought other stuff , guide rails, clamps, a ct 22 and ct mini, and sandpaper systaner for 350. If the other guy wasnt there I could have gotten the vacs for 30 bucks each. Actually if I wasn't there he could have walked off with the full systainer racks for 25 each.
Well upon packing our stuff the guy discovered the systainers were all full. Jigsaw, atf55, router bit drawer full, planer and who knows what else. Including the 2 $430 systainer racks.
I got a great deal on the vacs but I am still kicking myself that I wimped out and
stopped bidding.

Billy, Man I would still be mad myself. But not knowing how the items were used I think I still would have went up to $500.00 or so. Still super nice haul with what you got for the price...
