What Did You Buy Today?

Thought about that, but it would take more than a car carrier to make it a profitable situation. Semi with flat bed or even low boy would be better. That iron gets real heavy with only a couple of machines. You have to have the truck full also. That most likely will require paying storage until you get all he equipment you need. Now you have added additional rigging charges to pick up the iron from the auction and then set it in the warehouse. You could just keep loading up the truck until it was full but still need a place for it. Then of course you need a place to put it once you are on the West Coast until you sell it.

Add on insurance, fuel, permits, rigging, cranes, etc. Gets real expensive very fast.

It is the same problem Cramer and Newman tried to game with the $0.10 MI bottle deposit. :D

 
Not really shop related but I broke down and bought a new (well refurbished) laptop.
My Macbook Pro is struggling to keep up with PhotoShop, LightRoom and Fusion360.
Went with a Dell Precision M4800 Laptop Intel Core i7 4810MQ 2.4GHz 32GB RAM 1TB SSD, 15.6" display with Windows 10 Pro.
That ought to run everything I need. :p

Oh I'm with you Frank... I'm only slightly educated on this stuff. Ican say that I've seen the Intel HQ in CA, and upgraded my Solid State Drive in my Macbook but only because I had step by step video instructions.

Nice Dave, I have to update my laptop as well. It is so slow that I can't run OnShape any more, ever since I upgraded from Win 7 to Win 10. Win 10 uses too much of my processor and video system.

You say you purchased a refurbished laptop. Where did you get it. I really don't want to drop $1500 on a new one.
