Looking at the photos, they had been in business since 1954. Anybody know the
story on why they went out of business? Seems they had a ton of inventory
too, which seems odd for a company going out of business.

Crap. I don't have a use for any of it just now, and don't have a
place to store it anyway. Plus, it wouldn't even do me any good to ask
whee the sale is, cause my truck is still down. Bah. Humbug. I don'
need no steenkin' tools anyway.

hey rob. where and what time tomorrow?????? i may come and help with
the bidding!! :-] and also may be interested in some wood in the
near future. skeez

Sweeeeeet! I find many, many good buys at auctions, but I have NEVER bought
any wood. I don't know why, but other than flooring it always goes for more
than retail price. I don't even get excited anymore when I see they have a
bunch of wood. Actually, my experience at these types of auctions where
it's a woodworking shop is that everything goes too high. Since it's a shop
everyone there is for the wood/tools. I do much better at estate auctions
where there are only a handful of guys looking at the "good" stuff. Nice
haul, better eat your Wheaties this weekend with all that loading/unloading
to do.
