Yeah that sucks bro I am laid off from my job right now and my unemployment has only a couple weeks left. My job is great but it is feast or famine. With all the heavy industry struggling right now they do not need boilermakers to do any repairs because they r not running there furnaces. But best of luck to you and you should but a 1250 start bid with no reserve and leave it at that you never know someone might pay you big bucks for it. good luck
