I saw this Blackhawk Porto-Power setup at an estate sale today in Independence, MO (Kansas City area). It was buried back in the shop area, I didn't see where they had even priced it. Tomorrow is the last day of the sale, so I'm sure it could be bought pretty fairly if you are in the area. Its more than I care to mess with size and weight wise. They do have a skid steer on site that may help in loading out.

We have kinfolk there, wonder if it's for sale?

I'm sure it is, everything was for sale... I didn't see a "Sold" sign on it... the shop was piled full of stuff, they didn't bother putting a price on most of it. Better hurry, probably going in the roll-off after tomorrow if it doesn't sell. If you are serious, I'd give the estate company a call or text and inquire about it.

Holy moly. Has the pre war Blackhawk market really gone to this level of ridiculousness or is this just a seller who is dreaming for a big pay day?

Dude that’s crazy money. Man, we thought the totem pole was big money but this is nuts. Seller is going to be sitting on this for a while. I would love to see what they used for comps when figuring out a listing price

That will be a feel good for me if he can get it sold for anything close to that.

How many of these boards do we know of???

Is this the one that was on the Liveauctioneers site a couple years ago?

The only one I have stumbled over in person was the Chevrolet version that Twertsy had in his tool temple. You may be the one who bought that board from him when he liquidated his collection. I know that I hauled a bunch of Blackhawk stuff out of there around that same time period.

Most of your list comes up for sale regularly. Your biggest problem will be finding one of those 9004 release tools. They are like hens teeth these days.

I've looked through my trade pile but I don't have any of these. The majority of my trading stuff is 7/16th nugget stuff.

I was about to say that all the Blackhawk GJers within an hour's drive of Eureka, CA are muttering to themselves, "I wish this frackin' 930dreamer guy would stop tipping everyone else off to every bomb box he finds!", until I saw the super ambitious price tag. :)
