Sold! BJ equipment auction takes in $23,500


Top-seller: JET milling machine


The online auction of machines, tools and other equipment from the Beacon Journal Mechanical Services department concluded Wednesday with just under $23,500 in bids.

Six items brought in about one-third of the total, with a JET milling machine commanding the top price at $3,700. Next came a Birmingham lathe ($2,300), a Delta vertical band saw ($1,000), a large work cabinet ($750), a Craftsman stack tool box ($650) and a steel work bench with vise ($550).

Every one of the 270 lots sold, with more than three-quarters of them going for under $100. The lowest winning bid was 5 cents for a debri net. Other bargain bids were 35 cents for a Rubbermaid cabinet and 70 cents for a roll-around computer station.

Each item and the winning bid is available on the Kiko Auctioneerswebsite.

Winning bidders are required to pick up their items at the Beacon Journal on Saturday, March 29, between 8:30 a.m. and 1 p.m.
