  • Hulsroy International update 20/6-24

    I accidentally bought an entire workshop.

    Some shitty photos on a Facebook ad sparked my interest.
    I am never lucky with this sort of stuff, but for some fucking wild magical reason I was the first to contact the seller. They were helping sell the belongings of an old colleague who suffers from dementia. The machine I was there to pick up cost 1100 which is already a pretty good price... They didn't really have a clue what they were selling so they asked me to go through the stuff and find what belongs to the machine. There was a very nice chuck and a superb Emco rotary table. Then a metal sheet nibbler appeared, then a nice compressor and so on and so on. We ended up agreeing on a price of 2265gbp for all of it except for the lathe that was already sold. I am sooo happy and excited. Can't wait to look through it all. Materials, cabinets, new work bench, vice, air tools, files, etc... All of it appears to be top shelf stuff.

  • I love stories like this – the endorphin rush of a mega bargain takes weeks to fade. And, in my experience, people selling stuff at this stage in their lives are happy their belongings will be used for good vibes stuff. Enjoy!

  • This exactly ^

    I am pretty overwhelmed right now.

    Can't wait to go through the loot and share some photos with you all.

    Thanks to @JesperXT for being an absolute star today. Could not have done it without him.
