16% buyers premium????? ouch. That is some really big and solid equipment. I bet they could really move some product thru that place.
 
This follows there auction in Cleveland last May tons of equipment it was huge.

This one is in small town Franklin ,Pa truly a disaster for the entire area,many shops (people) lived off their overflow let alone all other businesses in the area .

I hope that another company buys the real estate but in this Democratic run state not very likely.

Another bit of collateral damage caused by the democrat/lefty/greeny war on coal. Does anyone know how many good hard working americans have been put out of work by these morons? For every miner that has lost his job I hear 5 others in everything from support industries and power plants to the local coffee shop and food store are out of work now also. All that and now they say the price of electricity will be going up 40%.
 
Quit polishing the brass on the Titanic man. Burning coal is the number 1 source of green house gasses that cause global warming. I know your generation will be dead before it matters, but I intend to be here for a while. If it means we lose some union jobs then so be it. If you want to make an omelet, some potential baby chickens are gonna have to die.

If it was easy we would have done it a long time ago.

I'm sorry that Joy Global was focused so heavily on a dying industry. Why didn't they diversify? Same reason as Cat and Terex and P&H and others. Mining was a cash cow and they were lazy. Now it's killing them and they're so deep in it they can't turn back.

When they outlawed DDT a lot of guy at Dupont lost their jobs. But, they'll get over it. We can't kill all the eagles so a few guys can keep their jobs.
 
Actually, burning coal is not the number one source of green house gases - it's the number one stationary source.

Motor vehicles are the number one source overall.

So ditch the car and ride a bike if you're that worried about it.

Global warming is a crock of SHIT. The climate has been in constant change, hot/cold for millions of years. I don't think we can do anything about it. That said the temp has been stable for the past 17 years and has only gone up 1.33 degrees in the last 100 years. I wonder how accurately temperature could be measured 100 ears ago.
 
Joy Global is being bought by Komatsu.

The Japanese aren't stupid, they know all the third-world counties will be burning coal for decades as they modernize their economies.

And make no mistake, contrary to what they say, China is burning all the coal they can get their hands on.

Hell, even Japan will be burning more coal as they get away from nukes.

We are the suckers on this deal, We close coal power plants and destroy an entire industry, put thousands out of work to "save the environment". The rest of the world does whatever they want. We are such dupes
 
So we close all our coal power plants and china opens a new one every week. We pay the freight on this one, china gets another 30 years to phase out coal. Nice job negotiating that one! Want a wind farm next to your house anyone?
 
Isnt a huge part of coal decline a function of natural gas supplies going up/price down?

I mean I want to blame obama/democrats as much as the next guy. But I still want to know the truth.
 
After just spending a week at the IMTS show and not seeing the low volume of people, had to have been the worse show I can remember in 40 years of shows I have atteneded, not the crowds that were in the show 20 years ago makes me sick hearing or reading this liberal crap abut global warming and how coal pollutes. All BS propagated by socialists who have infiltrated our education systems and brain washing our youth. They believe the crap that is told to them and be-little anyone who disagrees with them. I remember when there was 4 full pages on Machinist Want ads in the newspapers, now we see one ad on the page and it's a temp agency.

We need to not only pay attention to the federal elections every 4 years, we need to elect school board members and start to regain out country from this liberal leftist plan to ruin America. My parents were Democrats and this is not the country they lived in. Up here we were Democratic LABOR Party. Labor and good paying American jobs! I was a Democrat back then, but the democrat party has been taken over by lefties.

Now I can only see one candidate who wants to bring back jobs in America. Someone who wants to make America independent on energy. Think about all the jobs that will be created if we drill for oil, build pipelines to transport the oil, mine for coal. Think about the millions of jobs the trickle down to the machine tool industries we will have. Trickle down to steel, construction building new plants, new power lines, new everything! JOBS!!

We are in a war now, not only from ISIS but from the liberals who are ruining our country. Just look at the new bombings in New York and the stabbing here in MN. Who let this happen? The leftist democrats who have been in charge the last 8 years and the lefties in congress all the years before.

Don't let bullies like Ewsley spread their unacceptable BS speak and ruin this country, he has been brain washed as he is a young liberal educated Kid. He has never seen how great America once was. I pray to God that the November election we start to change America and put American jobs back on top and not think about BS like global climate change...what a bag of BS.

We need Jobs like Joy Global gave us and not whine about the leftists global warming BS that has ruined our machine tool industries. Lets elect people who want to give us high paying jobs in the machine tool industry.

I'm surrounded by wind farms, much nicer too look at than the strip mines.

Why can't we have both...? The strip mines I have seen in IL are ugly when they dig it, but are filled back in and become crop land. I have driven through Iowa and have seen the wind farms shut down. The power comes fro where then? Nuke? Coal? Gas? Oil? Water? Lets have it all and keep the country working. Those industries keep machining jobs alive and machining job trickle down to everyone.
