Did you ever think something like a Runco DLP projector would sell for the huge sum of $7.50?

This and many other items are going cheap at one of the local auction I visit.

A year old Generac 12.5kw Natural gas generator for under $500.00 (sold for $5800.00 new).

I am tempted.....

How large is your storage space?

A "Treasure" collection tends to expand to fill the available space. Sometimes (not often) it really is treasure. I had an aunt and uncle who collected antiques. They had three barns and two houses filled wall to wall. After their death the collection sold for about 3/4 million.

For $7.50? Nice. What model Runco? I've got a Runco LS-5 myself. It's still going strong after many years. Completely satisfied with 1080p and yes, I've seen higher end 4K projection under optimal viewing conditions.



In fact, I like my LS-5 so much I picked up a mint LS-3 a couple months ago for $150 shipped. Purchased it as a spare or for parts if needed. It included a new bulb and the same mount I'm presently using with my LS-5. (The LS-3 is identical to the LS-5 minus the horizontal lens shift.)







I rarely have enough disposable income to purchase new. You can find some great deals at auctions.  Great way to supplement one's income as well.  I've bought a number of items at auctions over the years flipping them, then rolling the money back into my home theater and other things.

It's still an active auction so it could go higher.

Problem is it would be a shot in the dark with no history. May, or may not work, and no way to test it. I imagine even if it doesn't work it could be fixed though...

Runs on natural gas OR propane.
