I haven't talked to them in a few years but their building still looks occupied, but it's been a few weeks since i drove by there. looks like they have a new site, http://www.descncrocks.com/, but it didn't seem to be completely functional. their web presence has always been spotty at best. Call and see if you can talk to Tony Long.
just noticed that J & G has some nice equipment on IRS auction

Also the equipment in GA is from Redmond & Son another reputable dealer.

Quite a few dealers set up liquidation companies to get rid of machinery that they don't want to sell through the front door. A lot of the auctions state that the machinery was moved in for the auction. A careful inspection of these machines would certainly be in order as you know the dealer rejected them for one reason or another. They did clean them up and make look pretty though.
usually these guys do quarterly auctions to clear out machines and turn it over into cash flow. they take most of them in trade and offer them for sale for a period of time, if they don't sell they auction them off.
they are definitely sold as-is though. Arkansas warranty, if it breaks in half you get both halves.

i didn't realize their dad died. thanks for the note, i did look it up. the tool rental is just one of their many businesses at that location.
How does one move these things. Where do you find someone to palletize or crate these without spending a fortune. I would need someone to pick up and deliver to my shop floor. I don't have a fork lift on my end. The riggers and trucking companies that I have talked to are kind of vague about how they would handle this. The last thing a need a pile of scrap metal in my shop that I would have to pay to get rid of.
Nice equipment being auctioned in Kannapolis. Auction closes April 10. http://www.irsauctions.com/index_lots.asp?pg=details&id=21013

Welcome to NCWW.
As you have probably ascertained by now, it's not so easy finding and acquiring the kind of equipment you are looking for, and there is definitely risk involved in buying it used.
I know this because I have a shop that is basically equipped exactly like the one you listed (Felder 10.5' slider, etc.)and I acquired the vast majority of my equipment used. I have everything you listed, plus a 37" wide belt and a fully enclosed explosion-proof spray booth.
Woodweb is a very good place to find private sales, even though the majority of sellers are brokers. For the slider try the Felder and Minimax users groups on Yahoo; their classifieds often don't appear anywhere else. Craigslist is hit and miss, but setting up standing searches for a 500 mile radius is usually helpful (My wide belt came from Jacksonville FL.)
Which raises the discussion of your other question: How do you move this stuff? My answer was to buy a very robust truck and a small forklift. Both have been absolutely essential to getting stuff moved. When you buy used, you often don't have the luxury of time to ponder or arrange logistics. Stuff has to be gone ASAP, so you really need to have the transport solutions previously arranged or readily at your disposal.

You could also check with Martin in North Charlotte. They may have some "B" stock. http://www.martin-usa.com/
J & G has a lift gate truck and will deliver if you pay and ask them. The other option is to have it skidded and shipped LTL with a lift gate truck.
There is not easy button for it without a doubt. it's an expensive proposition. I've moved a lot of machinery with hand trucks and brute force and partial disassembly.
Now you're talking real money. Martin is some beautiful equipment.
I couldn't afford to Dumpster dive there.:wsmile:
