Disapointed Google Alerts

[bc.gold 3,403]

Most of you probably never heard of the LKS welders, they were made locally in a small independent shop, they cut the lamination's for the transformer in house and used copper.

 

They're no longer being made and the shop has since become a King tools distributor, sometimes one will show up in a farm auction but the price or distance keeps then out of my reach.

 

This morning received a google alert, called the seller but told it has already been sold, disappointed in the google sent me the alert after the ad has had over a 181 views.

 

My alert has been with google  for well over three years and this was the first LKS alert.

 

I have since purchased an older Lincoln buzz box that meets my needs and then I also have use of the Farm shop and equipment every couple pf months I'll give Collin a hundred dollars to cover consumables.

I've canceled the LKS welder google alert.

I gave up trying to use those alerts - seems they get put on the back burner at best with Google compared to directly leaving a saved search on a sales site like eBay or otherwise. In the US, seems like all the really good used equipment has gone the way of the plethora of social media sales pages - some truly bizarre things have shown up lately - including a rebuilt Bridgeport lathe of a deceased owner. Missed that one by literally 5 minutes, they sold it for $1,200 cash. The guy had literally truck shipped it out to a rebuilder and it has never been put into service when the owner took ill and died. Been watching that posting for other machinist's tools and equipment - from the pictures he had quite a collection.
