    Air Compressors

    Hey everybody,
    If you are in need of an air compressor for your shop, you might want to check out this web site: www.govdeals.com Currently there is a large number of compressors listed for auction. The site is easy to use, you can create an account for free and then you can bid.
    I bought on from a small local Fire Dept. in Kentucky last spring. 5hp/60 gal vertical tank, new pump, almost new motor for $260.00. I had to go get it, about a $100.00 in fuel/eats for a one day trip, I live in north central Ohio. I had to do some mods for assembly , build a belt guard, plumbing and wiring but with it up and running I have less than $500.00 in it. A new unit to match this one runs from $1000.00 +.
    You have to factor in the cost of going after the items because of fuel cost but there is alot of good stuff for auction. I check the site everyday.

    Thumbs up Thanks

    Hey Triman, thanks for posting this website info, I bid on a 8 x 8 wooden barn style storage shed from a township about 2 hours from me. I think I will get it since I am the only bidder. My bid? $50 bucks. I priced a similar shed @ $600.00. The auction ends on Monday evening. I will keep an eye out on that website for an engine driven welder. I will let you know what happens. Thanks again
