I may come along to this – it’s not too far from where I live. Can’t beat a brick-and-mortar auction house!
@Dave You’re right that the prices have gone up. It’s not as bad over here in the UK but it’s noticeable. Most of the saws I buy are for (eventually) restoring and cost £15-30 but I have paid almost £100 for one that I’m not sure I’ll actually use. It’s a very rare Robert Sorby, 28″ 3.5PPI rip saw, with four medallions and two nibs, in excellent condition. Probably dates from pre-1828, so almost 200 years old. I’m all for putting a saw to use but there aren’t many other examples like it. It’d be incredible for resawing though!
