Has anyone had the chance to attend Peak Building supply auction. They roll in too Baltimore 4 times a year. I went to the preview to day. They had 10 of the rolling Husky tool chest the you see in the TIA videos.
If you ever get a chance to attend one you should check it out. Last March I picked up $4,000 worth of Trex for $450 to redo my deck at my house. Check out the wed site they have some photos and list on what will hit the Auction Block Saturday.

The tool chest went for $150.00 / $175.00 each the frist two went for $175.00 the rest $150 each.
I picked up 18 pieces of Trex Transcend Fascia 5/8″ x 12″ x 12′ for the deck around my pool $105.00 retail cost would have been $2,016
That’s awesome Regopit. We never have anything like that in the Granite State. I’d be bankrupt if we did though.
Never have anything like that around here either

I have really gotten some great deals at the auction but you have to know what you are bidding on. Do your research; go to the preview to see what they got then start checking retail and wholesale prices. Do not forget they have a Buyer’s Premium 10% for cash and debit cards 13% for credit cards here in Maryland they have to charge sales tax also. I have been going to this for 13 years now and the biggest problem I have people get to caught up in it. They start the bid to high Let the auctioneer bring it down to their lowest price then throw out a bid a few bucks lower to get the ball rolling then you have the ones that really need that item and pay more then retail .

Monassas is about 300 miles. Not that unreasonable for a good tool sale

It could be closer to travel to Howard County Md.
What is a town in Howard County I can reference?

Thanks for the info. That one in St Charles is about 30 minutes away, so I am going to that one. Without Dan
