Are these even worth looking at ?

[jwmay]

I'm not looking for projects by any means , but this ad has been on forever . I'm wondering if the parts are worth anything ?

If you don’t know, then I doubt many of us could tell you. I’d give 400 for everything if I wanted a hobby of selling used machine parts. Luckily hobbies don’t have to make money.

SOOOO, you cleaned out some equipment that I don't remember getting, and now you have space to put more stuff

Exactly - what else is he going to do with all that space?

Get him to throw in that South Bend shaper to sweeten the deal.

Worth is tough…
How much is scrap worth in the area. How much are those lathes in working order.
I would say if it interest you go there with your top price in mind
Make a offer and see.
Week ago Sunday breakfast at the club. Guy had bins of shotgun ammo for sale. Kept saying make a offer im not going home with it.
He sold off some as the morning passed. I bought some other odd items.
Eventually a young kid comes up and says how much for all of it.
Guy frustrated says make me a offer.
Kid says $200, guys says for $200 I want the bins back.
Kid knew he got a great deal and literally dumped the 1200 rounds of shotgun ammo into his trunk.
Most was 10g and lots of 12 and 20 g sabot well worth the $200
Will the kid use it?

I used to be a hardcore dumpster diver and alley-way trash picker and developed a keen eye.

Yeah , so I looked at this stuff a few years back while the Dad was living . We talked for hours but he wouldn't budge on the stuff . The son was there and all this junk was in a shed and spread out everywhere . I did give the son a call and we'll be meeting up this week . He's 2 miles away so nothing wasted on my part . I did notice the shaper and took pics on my last visit and posted it on here . If the price is right I'll think about it , but I'm not looking to rebuild these lathes . I figure there are people that could use parts maybe ? As far as space , not much room at the inn but everything is on wheels at this point .

Mike , you know it never runs dry here . Every box I open up it feels like Christmas .
