I'll buy anything I think I can make a heavy profit on. It pays for my hobbies. At one auction a self-proclaimed Bean Farmer from an up-scale winery area was bidding stupid on many items I wanted, but we still got 27 large lots. He and we were the last people loading, and he asked me how much I would give him for the 100 year old lathe that he could not fit on his trailer. It was a 12x 36 Monarch Conehead that had been modified to chain-drive, giving one speed, later found to be 85 RPM. He had just paid $350 plus a 15% fee for it. After that passed me by I bought good condition 10 inch Atlas with tooling for $80. Being the reasonable man I am, I offered him the $100 I had bid and he took it, and I later traded it for something else to a friend. He also spent over $500 on an old 1930's cabinet style spark plug tester/cleaner in good condition that he could not haul. I gave him $80 for that one and later got fair market value of $200. I hope I see him again next weekend!

The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
