Great article.? Lots of interesting articles on game theory and how to bid too.? The last one I read suggested not putting in your max bid as that site shows if it was
a proxy increase or a bid. ??That sander is a 2004 build.? New it¡¯s $29K.? I decided I¡¯d rather buy used at up to $10K over a new but lesser machine.? I had been assuming I¡¯d come across a Kundig Uniq and without the belt feed it¡¯s a lot cheaper than the Unique
S.? But this one showed up and amazingly my max was the winning number. It should get here for right at my max with tax.

Sadly for me, the used machine market is super strong right now.? In 2010 when I had a much smaller space the deals were amazing.? I may wait on a wide belt sander until
the building/remodeling boom ends.
