OT: Ebay item........... could be of use

I bet there is some cool stuff in some of those crates that you could use to
make some great shop tools out of.
I'll wait to bid until the end so someone doesn't drive the price up too
high.

I wouldn't. They say they'll help with the moving, but don't say
the shipping costs. It's like those drop-shipped power tools on eBay,
low price, and they make their profit on the shipping. Seme here, you'd
be way over-charged on shipping.

Don't bother bidding boys. I was going to bid then realized he only has 5
feedbacks. I'm going to hold off until a legitimate ebayer lists one.

But will the truck driver help you get that stuff off the back of his
truck, or are you going to have to unload the truck yourself?

This is not so far fetched as you think. All you have to do is sell 40,000
engines at $300 over materials and you break even. On number 40,001 you
start to make a small profit. How hard can that be???

I NEED one of those for my workshop at home.

You never know when you may blow a cylinder head. With this you'd just crank
it up and make another!

It's interesting, in that it was built for a GM Engine plant that's not far
from where I live.

If you follow the links to the web site, you can view the floor plan layout
for where it went or was supposed to go.

GM Livonia Mi Engine Plant on Middlebelt Rd.

Only about 30 miles from where I live.

Go for it Tom. I'll have to sit this one out. SWMBO says "NO" to setting
up an engine milling plant out in the shop. She seems to think a 2-car
garage is too small for an operation like that. Also, said something about
better ways to spend the $12M _if_ we did have it. (She seems in a bit of a
foul mood this morning)

Maybe I'll start a new car company and name it after one of the greats of
automotive history, Edsel Ford.
