content: I saw shelf after shelf of parts reels and was very surprised to see some pretty advanced and expensive parts there (AM5728, AD5933, Micron DDR) but these went for >$1,000 dollars. Perhaps cheap considering the amount of parts, but expensive for a hobbyist or perhaps a small company.It was interesting to see some parts bins with mixed SMD passives - impossible to sort.At any rate, I got a few gizmos for my lab. Pretty cool!

content: The problem with large lots of parts like this is realising any value from them without spending a lot of time. Anything expensive is the sort of part that normal buyers of that part will only buy from normal channels.It's also a lot of work sorting & cataloguing. You may get lucky & spot one particular nugget and bid solely on the basis of that, and anything else is a bonus.You can probably shift a lot on ebay over time but it's a lot of work - been there - done that!Many years ago I bought a van full (big van, very full) of components at a tender sale of a bankrupt assembly house. A handful of items I'd previously spotted covered what I paid. Took a year or so part-time to clear most of it out on ebay, and I have a lifetime supply of a few bits like pin headers left.It was initially a lot of fun going through boxes not knowing what I'd find, but got to be a pain after a while.

content: Quote from: gnavigator1007 on April 19, 2017, 09:27:02 pmI got two bench DMMs on the cheap with valid cal and a few things and bobs.Quote from: mikeselectricstuff on April 19, 2017, 11:01:38 pmCertainly. The distributors also guarantee origin and any defects - something that is harder to do for the higher priced items such as the ones I mentioned.Also, one thing is have a couple dozen parts, other is have reels or a palette of 13,600 LiIon batteries (one of the items) - pretty hard to move, unless the planets align and you get an eager buyer.For the larger items such as the oven above or the many PnPs, lead formers, chambers of all sorts, stencil printers, dozens of expensive stencils, it was an interesting (and sad) sight.

content: Oh, you don't want to see the stock of reels and fully traced parts I already have.A whole shelve of those reels would not get back on the market. Maybe half or such, but most would end up in my engineering stock for my Freelance Design service and Test Lab.But the location and (to me) non-transparency of this event prevented me from considering the bid.

content: The test equipment was in pristine condition, as well as measuring (several Mitutoyo micrometers and calipers, precision weight standards) and inspection (several Mantis, B&L, Leica and Amscope gear).I did some tests on my two HP 3478As and they are absolutely perfect. Their calibration is due in July. The crown jewel I saw was a 3458A, but the last bid I saw was around $1.6k. The PnPs, ovens stencil printers and other large items were in ok condition, and the soldering gear was well worn (as it would be expected from an assembly house) - many Hakkos and Metcals, and a few JBCs around.

content: I actually bought quite a bit from this place. I wish I had use for all of the components they were selling. I could have made a killing. Sadly lost all of the auctions for the Hakko irons. Got about 15 Hakko stands, 2 Extech Lux meters, 40' ESD mat (new), 2 huge rolls of anti-static bubble wrap, 5 shelves of electrical & pluming materials, 2 different blower motors, 3 Seiko SLP 650 printers, 3 18V adjustable power supplies, 2 30V adjustable power supplies, 2 TPLink gigabit switchs, 800W PoE switch, Lenox IP PoE NVR, 48 port patch panel, 3 RIGID shop vacs, 3 2x4 lay in light fixtures, 80-90 external 20-60GB hard drives, 500 SATA cables, 80 SuperMicro I/O shields of various models, and other smaller items.
