Oddly, just went to an electrical contractor bank auction this week. All the Greenley special stuff went for big money, couple of car dealers bought the trucks close to book, mechanics tools that were beat to heck went for about twice what they were worth, and all the rest went cheap. (Saw several fellows there that were definite electrical contractors bidding, probably many others were as well)

Being a non electrical item , and if there isn't enough other heavy machinery there to attract a machinery buyer, you can probably walk with it...always rolling the dice tho...

(I ended up buying nothing btw)
