Nice auction in my backyard but what to do with ten Weller desolderingstation per lot? Item 7 Or more JBC stations and itons you can carry , item 8 :-// I just bail , only interesting for the money making people. Perhaps i'll take a shot at the Mantis but it is probably skyrocketing the last hours. https://www.troostwijkauctions.com/nl/circuit-board/01-32944/ |

You're looking at this as an individual wanting to buy. That's not how the vendor will be looking at it. |

If there's something you really want then your options are to buy the lot and sell the excess here, or to wait for them to appear on eBay individually. I'm glad there isn't an auction like that near me. My garage would end up full of stuff I thought I needed! |

Cheaper to sell fewer lots, and more likely to be bid up by the serious buyers, buying them for individual resale or for a school/workplace/etc. Which is better: - 8 lots selling between $50 ~ $100 each, postage and packing for each (maybe paid by the buyer, but there's still expense for the auctioneers.) Any returns/failure to pay, chance is magnified when dealing with private buyers - 1 lot selling between $300 ~ $600, OK it sold for less but the auctionhouse can sell more items that week and take more commission, plus they have less chance of returns or failure to pay when selling to a company. |

Yea... Buy, for the one you want, and sell the rest on Ebay for a song!! ;D Years ago, i bought 3 $800 new DishWashers (shop demos), for $200 each. Installed one, sold the other two for $500 ea, so 1 for free & $400 profit. ;D |
