Yep, been buying up stuff up real cheap for the last 8 months, like a fiend. Yard sales, word of mouth, cragslist, newpaper.
Just not as much for sale as the situation dictates.
Either folks are waiting for good news or just came to the reality that a dredge is useless, there fore worthless here and the demand is at a all time low and they won't part with for a low price.
I know how that is, I will never part with my dredges, till death do us part.
You can never have too many spares and extras when it comes to mining. Probably added a good 10% to the already large, what some would call, hoard.
