<p>I had a bunch of Keystone sawmill equiptment that was going to be surplus after I bought an actual bandsaw mill kit. I payed $10 a kit and sold most for over $40 all to one guy who consistantly pays up to 6X retail for non OOP kits. I was happy he was happy. It's all what the market will bare I guess. </p><p>I payed $120 for a Sheepscott kit and the next one that went up went for over $600 same kit. My $120 winning bid didn't even meet the reserve, but I got it anyway.<br /> </p><p>I've prety much retired from e-bay as the shipping costs (read gouging) was getting ridiculous. I now have a network of reputable dealers whom I buy from after testing the waters with them at auction. </p><p><> The biggest thing with auctions is KNOW YOUR PRICES before you bid and take into acount shipping ,taxes, etc a trip to your LHS may save you a bundle even if you have to wait a while. </p><p> </p><p>10wheeler </p>
