Hi all,
I know all of the cons about buying used equipment, but the auction I
attended today was a perfect example of why to check out auctions that
advertise beekeeping equipment.

I had contacted the auctioneer about what was there but since most are not
educated in beekeeping equipment he could not give me the specifics.  Since
the location was only about an hour away I decided to make the trip.  A good
bit of the equipment was used, old and as far as I was concerned, not worth
hauling home.  However, there were 10 new in box,  full deeps and 10 new in
box shallows.  I was able to buy all as a single lot for $25.00.  Just need
to be assembled and painted.  There was also one stack of shallows (6 or 7),
purchased for $5.00 that were all filled with newly assembled frames-no
foundation.

There are deals out there, it just takes time an patience to find them.  I
usually see 3 or 4 of these per year within a couple of hours from home.
