to buy tooling go to waste .

I rarely pass up on measuring equipment, especially second hand. And sometimes, years later, I really do need it, like a Mitutoyo 146-102 Groove Micrometer I got cheap from a seller who didn't know what it was, and I needed a week or two ago. IIRC I was the only bidder on the gauge block set with a couple of common sizes missing. MSC had them for ~$16 each, accurate to better than 10 microinches.
