Absolutely keep doing these. No naysayers... you've earned the right to do what you enjoy, it's called retirement, and we get to enjoy with you.

Hey Mr Pete we really appreciate you taking us along on your road trips especially the auctions thanks again

Thank you Mr Pete. I'm glad you had a great time and I'm excited for you. Thanks for taking us along.

Continue with the auctions please! Love that stuff.

If I were a wealthy you-tube sensation, I would be going to these auctions too. Glad you had some fun! Thanks for taking us along. Very enjoyable watching.

I, too, am SO jealous of your auction finds. There no machinists auctions in our area.

I love the live auctions like the one you went to. Online auctions seem to have replaced these types of events where you can meet up with friends or meet new ones. The mystery boxes are the best, they are like a box of chocolates....

"Metric and Correct" 😄 As a person who lives in a country where fewer and fewer people use 'correct' units of measurement, that little quip made me chuckle.

Lyle, keep going to the auctions. That’s what is keeping you so young. Have a good day !!

We should start a gofundme for Mr. Pete to keep going to tool auctions. I'm jealous, those types of auctions so rarely come up around here.

I am jealous of your auction adventures. You keep doing what you enjoy doing and ignore the naysayers. I would've bid on the lathe just because it was going for so little money.

I miss auctions. In away you are bringing home a little bit of history. Also when you purchase/win items it helps guarantee that your estate sale will be bigger.

"Hi Im Mr Pete and I'm a toolaholic" Keep buying, I enjoy watching you sort plunder

You could give me $50 and I would still choose the auction!! A press for $10, lathe for $50, I have no doubt about it. But as you said the thrill of the hunt is what really get our hearts racing. We have nothing like it where I live, but searching the internet, trying to find find these old tools for bargains is quite a hunt in of itself. Please keep making these videos I sure enjoy them. Thanks as always and take care!

Mr. Pete I just love the auction video's. If that's what you enjoy doing do it!

Great video Mr Pete, It looks like you had a good day.I like the stuff you brought at the auction.

Just keep being you Mr.Pete. Seeing this stuff especially with your excitement will always be entertaining to me Keep having fun when you can because as we all know tomorrow is promised to none of us

I appreciate all your videos, Mr. Pete, please keep making them! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

You have a lot of tools that would be nice to have but your knowledge is the most valable of all

Absolutely the Last One, ... this week. Auctions are just way too much fun. ... i wish i was there, the lathe and tooling would have followed me home.

Please keep going to auctions. I am happy they make you happy!

"but this truly is the last one", truer intentions have never been spoken! Good luck Thanks for everything. You've got no idea how envious we people that are outside the manufacturing/rust belt for all the access you've had to such wonderful stuff at auctions.

Auctions auctions and more auctions. Good to see you happy!

Mr. Pete you old tool junkie I would would go to all of these. I am glad you went. Have fun in you 80 years!

If you enjoy going to auctions then keep going to them. I enjoy your videos so I'll keep watching.

Nice catch of measuring tools! I had been in few workshop sell-outs, I bought every measuring tools and other machine tools and sets, etc. There I spent all my money. My grandmama even joked: "In age You will have a great pension fund!"

I share your joy. Wish there were more auctions like this where I am.

I made a comment when you immediately broke your first No More Auctions vow. But it was all in fun and i hope you attend 1000 more. Bless you.

Worked as a sparky for 50 years and was fortunate enough 40 years ago to get a 6" Starrett combination square still in the original box and a Brown & Sharp 0 to 1" micrometer. Never got to purchase a decent digital 0 to 6 or 8" calibers. Have cheaper combination squares. Thanks Mr Pete for the informative u tube vidios that you produce.

Thanks for taking us on a great auction. Very interesting items. And some great buys. Cheers from Australia

You go Mr. Peterson !! enjoy yourself and bring us along on your journeys...... best regards, Steve

Thank you and God bless you !

Good Morning Mr Pete!!! The Tennessee Mole Man 👍🇺🇸🍊😎🍊✝️🙏

You had a great day, Mr. Pete!! More power to you to have a passion like that when you are 80 Y.O. I used to buy those quick release hand magnets 20 at a time when it was time to clean out the scrap conveyor trench under our line of stamping presses. Typically, they would last for one cleanout which at one time was done annually. Some great loot!

Always love an auction Nothing like yours in Florida ❤

Good score, wish I had been there, don’t ever stop!

Glad your back and 100 plus percent!! For sure keep doing these. We live through you. Just don't burn those maps.

Just keep going as long as you're able, we'll be here!

Thank you for taking us along for the fun!

WOW! I think this has to be some of the best stuff you've brought home from an auction.

Mr. Pete, Thank you for showing us all a good day. I passed through your town in August (I didn't know you lived their then). I have friends in Peru and Kankakee. I will be going through there again next year and hope to be able to say Hello and Thank you in person. I appreciate your passion. I am 64 and still have passion for my interests (gunsmithing, machining projects, buying more tools, and multiple other things like that). You give us the push we need to continue on with our love of these things. It was wonderful for all of us. Jimmy

Never stop Mr Pete, I am also old guy, and I buy tools and equipment I will likely never use. Just like you, I likey hing. Great video, never stop!

$100 and an auction for me. Thank you for the blessing. ❤

God Bless you Mr. Pete.

These auction videos with you narrating r the best!

100% on your side! Was very interesting to see what you bought this time ! Thanks for showing it !

Wow! Again. I wrote my first comment while watching your video of the sale items and quickly realized there was much more. This was an incredible assortment of tools. I also collect wood planes of which there were several desirable ones.

Auctions are fun! It's like going to the casino and winning more than loosing. KEEP having FUN Sir.

$50 for the old lathe is a steal.

I have been attending auctions since the first one with my Dad at five years old. I'm 60yrs old now so I don't go to as many as I used to. However, like you I enjoy the treasure hunt and sometimes I spend more time visiting with friends than bidding. Love all your videos and please continue as long as you are able. This is AL B, from Ohio and so long for now 😊.

Yep you and I are hooked on auctions. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.

Goto the tool auction. God Bless you too, Mr. Pete.

Great video.

It was fun just to hear the excitement in your voice.

Yes. Keep these types of videos coming. Extremely interesting.

keep having a good day, enjoy all your shows....God Bless you and yours

Mr. Pete, I love the auction videos! No need to justify good clean fun and always a chance to score something you may use.

wish we had auctions like this where i live id be a collector too . keep them coming mrpete

Hi Mr.Pete, that big floor model arbor press at 9:45 is just like the one we had in the tool and die shop I used to run. It had a patent date of 1916. I remember because, it was the year that my Mother was born. It was totally mechanical. The long lever on the left acted on an arm that engaged notches on the big wheel to operate the pressing action. We used it mainly, to press out mangled die posts that never saw grease unless we were servicing the die in our shop. You would crank and crank on that long lever, building up pressure and all of a sudden, the die post would break free. It sounded like a gunshot! After it broke free, you could push the post the rest of the way out fairly quietly. Ours had another lever near the top in that cylindrical portion of the press that would move the ram down rapidly for much lighter jobs.

Thanks for sharing! I got to visit this auction from the warmth and comfort of my easy chair. 😉

Thanks for sharing. I am sorting through a truck and 10’ trailer I got at an online auction this week. Bought 6 larger micrometers for $20 that I thought were going to be wall hangers. They weren’t a set and you couldn’t see brands from the pictures. 3 turned out to be Starrett and one was a no name aluminum. Left half the the metal I bought for the scrap man but got some small round stock to fit in my lathe. Sold about 100lbs of brass bars and some larger aluminum in the lot to another man there for more than I paid for it. Bought a large lot of shelving and cabinets with some hidden gems in it. Not sure how it is where you are at but the past 2 years auction prices have been crazy. Nice to see prices more reasonable. Just wish the dollar would go farther for food and retail

I enjoy the auctions so much. I wish there were more in my area. Folks got some great deals. Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely not disappointed. I would have gotten even more! And surely enjoyed the video.

Keep doing what you love! It’s what makes the world go round. I have passion. I love to share that at times. I think that you’ll find more people for you than against. Take care and I’m sure God has and will in the future bless you many more times!

No please dont stop we highly enjoy everything you do And that blue point was a precision edge for checking cyl heads. And block decks

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HENRY 🎂🍨

I love to 'fondle' Starrett tools too! Nice haul Mr. Pete.

I too share your passion and thanks for sharing it with me.

Passion is a wonderful gift. Nice one buddy.

Glad you got some good stuff mate! Thanks for sharing, Mr Pete.

Wow. What a great auction, for the buyers anyway.

Thank you so much for doing these auction videos! I really miss the in-person auctions as most around here have went to online only. I also get excited as I know some of your finds will make it to "Petebay" this winter. I am looking forward to it! I would have had to rent a u-haul truck if I would have been there! Thanks and keep up the good work!

Please keep the auction videos coming, I live in central Georgia and tool auctions like the ones you go to are few and far between here. I agree with you, I'd take the $100 and go to an auction. I have no use for fancy stores.

If you're having fun and enjoy it just keep doing it. Actually looks like some pretty good deals

Time to recalibrate your solder prices... The big box stores now sell solder for about $45/lb....

The planer gauge was worth the trip. I never had one until after retirement - our shop used gage blocks. But bought a Lufkin planer gauge a few years ago to play while watching TV.

Please don't stop going to auctions , I love these things. A great way to start a Saturday morning with my coffee.

Thanks Mr Pete. I think I enjoyed the video almost as much as you enjoyed the auction!

Watched to the end. I thoroughly enjoyed the video.

Congratulation on the purchases. I envy You Pete. More auctions please.

I love watching these videos! I would take the $100 auction cash in a heartbeat! We don't have estate auctions in our area, but several times a year I find local estate sales that are "diggers", and I usually find a bunch of great items that most people don't even recognize. The best ones are when the family just wants to get rid of everything.

I'm disabled and used to go to auctions, so you keep doing it and the prices are very low love it, UK, Give me £100 and I'm with you any-day

Brian from Ma.what a awesome video had. Good laughs what a good plunder I too put hands all over new tools while sitting I’m blessed to own a bit of starrett Tools miss my manual starrett dial caliper hand fell off too happy Birthday Henry I start vise project today anyhoo Besafe

Auction!!!! Do what you Want to Make You HAPPY.

Good Onya Pete keep doing this. its why we watch

Very cool finds at the auction.

I love your enthusiasm, Mr Pete!

Those machines were a steal.

Awesome! Keep it up. Nice to see you Mr Pete

Mr Pete-“two sets of Horrible Freight wrenches, one metric one correct”. Couldn’t agree more! I’d walk two furlongs in a fortnight to ensure I get “correct” wrenches

Please keep doing what you’re doing, very interesting. P.s., I was an auctioneer, sold a lot of good tools very cheap.

It took me all day to get to watch this whole video, but it made MY DAY as well! So you had a good day, and we all watching had a good day! Thank You! Sad to see the lathe barely sell. I would have given much more for it...

Lyle - Great video and I too will take the $100. I'm amazed so few people at that auction. I'm in upstate NY but we have not had anywhere near the tool auctions as we used to have. It has been a couple years since a real good one. Although you still see smaller ones with some interesting things. They are great to go to as you never know what you will find. Keep having a good time. Hope you and Henry had a good celebration - grandkids help keep us young.

Always amusing to see these machinist items. Starett should hire you as their spokesperson.

Thanks Mr Pete for taking us along. I see the joy you get from looking around and buying these things. I loved the quote, "Mitutoyo foam deteriorating...shame on you!"

Looking at these boxes makes me more excited than when I was on my first date, lol

What JamesP said!!!!!!! Keep it up, Lyle!!!!!!!

Please keep doing these. The longer the better. I love watching them and see what things sell for in different areas.

Love the auctions Mr. Peterson! I wish that there were some by me!

I love tool auctions too 😅😅
