Good candidate for a Dutch auction. Start at $2,500 and reduce the price $100 every 5 minutes until somebody bids. Might take a while.

[MBZ] need to make a shim
This is a shim that is used on Coats center post tire machines when working on larger rims. It is supposed to keep the bottom bead breaker from hitting the wheel. This part does not appear to be available anywhere but looks like it might be semi easy to make.
