Won the auction for $502. After fees and tax it came to $628.
Local warehouse had these running a pneumatic conveyor belt. They were supposed to be installed in series to share the load but they were never installed correctly and only the one on the right took 90% of the load. They priced the fix and it would have been to much so they went with one much larger system and said screw it, get rid of all this. I found it locally on govliq which was exciting because the closest govliq auction i ever won was 6 hours away. So i scheduled a preview and the warehouse manager told me the whole story.
I contacted the local Quincy sales/repair/warranty shop and after vaguely asking for prices on a parts list to get compressor #2 up and running before i won the auction, the service guy put 2 and 2 together and new the compressors i was bidding on. They sold the compressors to the warehouse and serviced them accordingly. They told me the whole story which jived exactly with what the manager told me. One took all the load, the other was in great shape. The quincy service guy which was really nice priced what these go for new and 'their' price was $3,950. he showed me on his screen.
Altho the 2 crummy pictures on govliq showed one compressor, the manager told me if i won, he would include both compressors, and third pallet of goodies like air dryer and electrical boxes pictured for free.
I began to bid once the auction opened and crossed my fingers that no one else drove to southern albany county for a preview. Most buyers on govliq are never local. If you ever bid on something on that site, you know what i mean.
I was in a bidding war with one other person and i figured they had no clue what they were bidding on as they stopped at $482.
Anywho, i got everything pictured including air dryer ( $1,200 ), 1 like new 80 gallon, 4 year old, made in usa from top to bottom $4k compressor, one compressor with a great motor but currently missing pump ( i have a call in to warehouse to find that bad pump, they are rebuildable ), all electric wiring, 2 automatic drain valves, 2 electrical boxes ( dunno if i can use them ), and misc attatchments and goodies ...
$628. How'd i do ? ...
Edited in attempt to follow the rules. For those that were helpful, thank you.
