Benzine Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 In my search for a wheel, I've been checking the Public Surplus website daily. The have recently added several auctions, with a lot of items; wheels, kilns, miscellaneous equipment, and even some clay. So good hunting. If I was in the area, I'd be all over some of that.

Did you go to www.publicsurplus.com or another website? Ironically all I saw was Colorado and Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Thats a two day drive for me (to Las Vegas) but those are some smoking great deals 10 power wheels for 1,500$ (bid so far)-6 brent wheels and 4 clay boss 3 newer skutt kilns all under 200$ clay- racks-brents plus misc Looks like the school system is closing up a ceramic's pogram. Sad but deals are the result Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OffCenter Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 I just went there looking for a Walker pugmill before Biglou could get it but it was gone and they have a great-looking Bluebird for a little over a hundred (bidding still going on so may go up) in Las Vegas. Wish it was closer. Thanks Benzine! Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pompots Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 They have lots of good stuff but the trip to Las Vegas to pick it up would increase the price greatly for me. Shame!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benzine Posted April 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 I wish my brother still live in Vegas. I could have him pick something up, and ship it to me. The sad thing is, like Mark said, this most likely means that a school and/ or ceramics department closed down. Jim, too bad the Walker was already taken. But I saw that listed, and thought of the comment you made in the other thread. No doubt there are many others that share your sentiment. Those Walkers are nice.

I'm in Georgia but don't have time or inclination to make trip, especially since it looks like it really is only worth 4 or 5 hundred. Thanks justanassembler.

jrgpots Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 I have had to increase my bid since benzine told everyone about the auction.

I was trying to keep it under raps to keep the bidding down........lol. I'm just 2hours east ov Nevada Sorry about that. I just didn't want those, with access to miss out on an opportunity. I figured this was a small enough community, it wouldn't add a lot of bidders. Plus there is a lot of stuff up for grabs. What are you looking to purchase.....Please tell me all of it....hehe.

jrgpots Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 I was interested in the kiln furniture. The pugmill would be fun if it were low enough. But in reality, just supplies....pretty please don't bid me up.......lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 Those brent rolling racks are a steal as well as the brent bat mobile Get the supplies also -there is a tailsmaen seive in that pile Its all good- How about a skutt computer electric-good for something. It would cost me a 4 day drive plus van gas-say about 500$ or more in fuel-I'm hoping you get it all- two hours away-take a trailer Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact that is what I have a bid on. Over 50 5 gallon buckets of ^6 glazes. Even the gas kiln is still at a good price. It makes my mouth water....just have to convince my spouse...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The glaze materials and stuff all look little used. You need 10 wheels to start that teaching program as well. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark C. Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Anyone bid and win any of this stuff? I see the mixer went for 650$ Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJR Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 You can build a bat rack easier than a mixer. I would go for the mixer. I am too far away to bid on anything, so good luck, guys and gals. Brents are always a good buy. TJR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pricklypots Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 I bid on and won the slabroller, one of those things that was on my list but not very high at new prices. I have all kinds of projects planned now that I won't have to lug all that clay to the local pottery studio. I did bid on the kiln furniture (sorry!) but realized I just didn't have room to store all that heavy stuff. Would have liked the ware carts but again, no room. I need a studio!!! Thanks so much for the tip on the auction......I am one happy potter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
