I would hope.  The big problem with these government auctions is that once
you've bought it, you have to remove it.  I once saw a beautiful Cincinnati
universal mill which looked like it had never been used, complete with tooling
(and tooling can easily end up costing as much as a machine), go for less than 2
yards.  To give a sense of scale to the thing, it had a 10 HP main motor.  At
the same auction, I saw a 5' X 10' granite surface plate which was all of a
foot thick go for less than 5 bills.  If I could have hauled that thing, I would
have now been sipping my evening cocktail from a patio lounge chair parked on
it.  Yeah, the bargains are there, but you gotta think BIG and MANY.
