If I pay/bid anything near/over that price for anything there it will likely be the big air compressor..
I have a feeling, judging from the number (over 50) of folks there yesterday afternoon for the preview, that I may just be coming home empty handed.
At this point, after looking on line at mills of many kinds, I am of a mind when I get one, just to get what tooling I need when I need it.
I have found Kurt & Kurt style vises on line for $150 & up
The one on the auction has a swivel base and I'm sure ut will command a big price.
#1 looking at a dovetail column unit
#2 $1500-$2500 price range
I have made a list of the machine tool stuff and will note the price when it sells.
If anyone would care to know later today what any item sells for, just holler.
Should be over by 2 PM or so.
Wish me luck guys!
And thanks again for all the info & advice you folks have put forth here

Brown & Sharp has been a top level manufacturer since the 19th century (like Starrett)... Here is that combination square set on Amazon saying list price is $622.76 and sale price is $268.99.

I think Amazon shows somewhat inflated "list price" numbers. Here it is at Grainger for $259.35.
