I did not mention this but there was yet another auction running - this one closed today.
Western Washington University seems to be closing out their Chemistry Department and have been selling off their old labware and equipment. Managed to score a couple of the lots. Some nice glassware, a couple reaction mantles, ring stands and associated hardware, lots of reagent bottles.
I do home brewing and this will be great for yeast culturing. With the current boom of the Maker Culture, I can eBay off the rest for cheap and cover my costs. Bringing the trailer in tomorrow to pick these up and see what I get at the restaurant auction.
