Try googling for "auctions near ". You'll get lots of hits. The trick with auctions is that you have to look at a lot of them to find
the bargains. I frequently find that prices are too high for "as is" "where is" merchandise. It is not unusual for things to sell for new retail
prices. You'll have a lower hit rate but a better chance of getting a "you suck" bargain at non-machinist auctions. I bought a Dumore 44
tool post grinder in decent shape for $35 in an action of woodworking tools. Have patience and be prepared to buy things that may not
be on your immediate shopping list.

Hey folks we have a new high bar for “You Suck” nominations! $35 for Dumore Tooloost Grinder!!?

You Sucketh, indeed.

I've been mussy futzing around looking for things to get for the new lathe when it gets here, I have several Carbide boring bars but no BXA holder The cheapest Aloris BXA 4D that I've seen was from AJAX at 95.00, as a last resort I looked at Amazon, 1 left in stock for 85.00 Prime, so I grabbed it...

@Aukai Check out the holders on Ebay. Yes, I know where they come from, but I have purchased several different styles now off of Ebay for my AXA and I am impressed. The only thing I will probably change is the lock bolts as I would prefer knowing the strength of them. But $25 compared to $80 it seems like a no brainer.

I only have a couple of genuine holders, the rest are Ebay buys
