Machine shop auction - good for laughs

admin

Looking through the items in this auction you will quickly see that the person writing up the descriptions was writing down what they thought somebody else was saying.  https://www.proxibid.com/asp/Catalog.asp?aid=101253Some of the item descriptions caused me to have additional questions.  For example :Radio arm saw  ->   AM or FM ?Ban saw   ->  would I need a conceal and carry saw permit ?Wheel barrel  ->  beer keg on wheels ?and then the misspellings which just had me scratching my head :Monarch Metal Lave  ???Humor aside, I wonder if the seller will even notice and call the auctioneer and ask them to correct it.Century buzzbox that I learned on 40+ years ago (was Dad's)Crappy Century 110volt mig 70 amp pigeon pooper.Lincoln Idealarc TIG-300
