I put this in a forum a few days ago and wanted to add it here for everyone.
I am on the mailing list for a local auction company that specialises in estate auctions. They have a sale comeing up on Oct 31st and Nov 7th that has at least 9 Shopsmiths in it. They will be selling at least 3 of the Shopsmiths on the Oct 31st day and the rest on Nov 7th.
Here is a link for pics of the sale items.
Keep checking back at the link as he adds pics of items as he gets them.
Here is a copy of the E-Mail

I have seen tools at this guys auction sell for good money, and have seen them sell for pennys on the dollar.
With this many, he is probably advertizeing more and there are people that just buy and resell.
My guese would be that they should sell very cheaply. Specially since there are 2 mobile mini containers full of tools. A lot of wich are brand new still in boxes.
Check out the links for pics. There is a lot of stuff other then tools also.

This is a cash only auction. No credit cards, No debit cards, No personal or business checks!
We will accept checks from established customers of Wayne Patrick Auctioneers only.
The auction for October 31st is set up and ready to go. This will be a 4 plus hour auction. Guns sell first (approximately 30 minutes). Jewelry will sell second (approximately 45 minutes to an hour). Large power tools, then all items on tables and finish up with the items sold by the box lot.
Because of space, we were unable to even open the largest mobile mini unit and still have no idea of its contents. We will empty its contents after the October 31st auction and will email photographs of the contents as we set it up for the November 7th auction at 10 am. Don’t miss either auction.
Too much for anyone to believe the amount of tools and other items from one estate. Something for everyone. Don’t miss this auction.

When I was looking for a lathe, I went to one of these auctions and was beat out by someone that just wanted the Big General more than I did…. LOL. Now that I have a machine, and think back to that day…That other guy got a great deal…..
