$13750.00 plus a 10% buyer’s fee so $15125.00 not counting rigging & shipping costs. Interesting auction, different from eBay for sure, if someone snipes in with last moment bid they stretch the end time out just a slight bit. I kept refreshing my screen to watch the auction finish out and they added time to the end time at least twice.

At one time I’d have given up a pinky to own that machine, now I had no interest in even bidding on it. likely too late in my career to make it pay so I’m just going to stay focused on becoming a hammer man. If a sweet paying production job came my way that had to have a power shrinker (doubtful) I’d just mount my Erco jaws in my 40 ton deep throat Whitney punch, it has an adjustable “shut height” so no big deal. I’ve been really exhausted lately so it’s really hard for me to be enthusiastic about another project for right now . ~ John Buchtenkirch

I had someone that had said " If ever you want to sell your Eckold " So at 10:00 AM I heard about this one and by noon I had money committed on mine and purchased this one . Nice upgrade for me as it puts me into a top stroke and is one state away with no rigging charges . Just a day trip with a bobcat trailer and off we go on another adventure. The ultimate "Right place right time"

You did good Dan. Even better if you end up hitting the tooling mother lode.
