Since the items in question were "small" commercial electric company
current transformers (4000:5 I think, about 15-20lb each), I wasn't real
worried. They would have been fun to have, but I really didn't need
them. Now if they had been potential or distribution transformers, I
flat out would have outbid him without a second thought since they would
definitely have had a lot more than scrap value to me and the Tesla
community at large.

That works for me just fine...I generally feel like getting out my precision
16 oz adjusting tool to use on my computer at work when it's sitting there
doing whatever stupid thing I tell it to, rather than what I really want
it to do ;-)
