I subscribe to Bidspotter and receive multiple notifications of industrial auctions every day. The auctions are from all over the country so, for the most part, not of any interest to me, but occasionally there will be one listed in my area. It is a good resource and if you find all the notifications you will soon get bothersome you can always unsubscribe. There is a Richie Bros in Illinois off I-80 near Morris, IL. A lot of heavy machinery. Never been to one of their auctions but it looks like a BIG operation. Big boy toys for sure!

 

I looked through their website and it looks legit. The one I found here is local and they've got a handful of really nice items....Powermatic planers and table saws. I registered to bid so we shall see if this bears any fruit. The auction is ongoing through the 22nd so I have some time.
