Also, auctions. In this part of the country there are lots of auctions
this time of year. Last weekend there was one that advertised 3 Miller
welders. I ended up going to a different auction so I don't know what they
went for...but I did notice a $1200 Miller in the shopper paper yesterday.
Hmmmm....wonder if someone is selling a recent acquisition.  8) Joe

BTW, at the auction I went to, a 3 HP air compressor went for $90. I 
bought some high quality o-ring pliers with a couple other tools for 
about $5.
