Help!!! (long shot!)
Just found out there is a no reserve clearance sale on tomorrow out bush here with a Peterson mill in it. Anyone know what they are worth 2nd hand???? Has a 20HP Honda driving it apparently but won't know anymore about it until we get there tomorrow.
Short notice I know but these things happen

G'day Vern, not up with prices on Peterson Mills, but would imagine $8 to $12
Cheers

Strewth Joyce!!! I'll have to put the blinders on the fantastic plastic and see if we can get a bargain. Thanks DJ - I had no idea they were worth that much - was thinking around 5k - it's not like there's much in them when you look at it Originally Posted by DJ's Timber

Don't know what model or how old it was but at $7k it would seem a steal.
Perhaps it is better to be irresponsible and right, than to be responsible and wrong.

Looked the same as the one they demo'd here just 2 years ago - 20HP Honda - hardly a wear-mark on it anywhere, spare blade, sharpener etc. The next lot in the auction was a bundle of sawn spotted gum that the ants were into - probably all that was ever cut with it. If they were looking to mill for profit or to build a house or whatever they did get a bargain but I was only there in case nobody else was after it - never have been real lucky

TTIT
You were lucky enough to be there - well spotted.
A bit more notice might be nice though
Not having a go but that was one that got away - oh well bait the hook and wait for the next one
They say good things come to those that wait
And wait,
And wait,
And wait,
And wait,
Ah shyte who cares what they say - better luck next timePerhaps it is better to be irresponsible and right, than to be responsible and wrong.
