I consigned a bunch o stuff to an auctioneer.   I asked what assurance I had that i'd receive the proceeds less commission.  He has one of the big companies who come to the site to auction stores, industrial equip, etc., so out of state. He gave me this schpeil about how he was bound by law and

Centigrade is a more accurate name for it.  Cent=100     grade = root for gradient => scale. Centigrade means 100 gradients between freezing and boiling, or where liquid water changes to solid and where liquid water becomes gaseous. Celcius makes no sense.  I owe nothing to that swede, who

Re: [MBZ] OT - Fun with Water Heaters

BTW, the "experts" don't evaluate a roof by looking at it on the roof. (and under the roof)  They look at a satellite picture, then try to figure out the worst case scenario for the roof.   THat goes on the report to the buyer and their agent.   It is completely bogus, but it is how they do it

Re: [MBZ] OT - Fun with Water Heaters

Exactly.   His market may be different that the rest of the country, because of all the people fleeing stupid states and moving to FL wanting to buy houses.   but he needs to consider it is exactly these people who made their state of origin stupid. I had 2 experienced agents tell me the same

probably stil overpriced. If it was running, that maybe realistic.   Deduct for engine repair, and rust repair, if needed. Kaleb Striplin via Mercedes December 30, 2019 at 7:50 PM So maybe it is not overpriced after all? Sent from my iPhone __

Re: [MBZ] OT - Fun with Water Heaters

+1   Having just been through the mill, Mitch is exactly right.   Any potential buyer will want a new roof, new furnace, new WH, and probably new appliances, and they don't give a shite about efficiency or cost, as long as they don't have to buy the new roof/appliances.    Cheap, crappy, new tr

Re: [MBZ] OT - Fun with Water Heaters

yes.  All you need for solar water heating (in summer or where it never freezes) is black pvc tubing laid out where the sun will heat it and a circ pump.  It can be on the roof, or on the ground/pavement, or anywhere else it will catch sun.   When/where freezing conditions exist, it gets a litt

Re: [MBZ] Overpriced project for Poos or Jaime

Most 111s imported to the USA (and NA) were 220Sb.   This one is a 220b.   111.010 They are quite rare.  Yuro and early examples did not have bullet turnsignals.  By 1962, new import 220Sb has the clear bullet TS with yellow bubs. i'd guess this one was imported in 1961 or before and they reis
