Man, this will come in handy in the new system of things. Ideal for scooping up piles of eviscerated non-JWs without needing to touch them with your bare hands.

A bargain from Kingdom Support Services! Get in quick!

Because labor is always the most expensive and if you can find free qualified labor, you can always buy the machines.

Nice headline pic on the site. The Hudson Valley is really pretty in the autumn season.

Oh.. and housing and feeding the 3000 volunteers is also done by volunteers. Don't forget they also bought many buildings for this very purpose, robbing nearby towns of great tax revenue once old hotels were converted to non-taxable real state.

How do you know that is a WT site?

I don't doubt you , but Im just looking for the indications that it is.

stuck: How do you know that is a WT site?

From the website:

Hudson Valley Used Tools and Equipment is Kingdom Support Services, Inc

Kingdom Support Services is a Watchtower corporation.

Just a thought: By effectively selling equipment to themselves using their own corporations are they able to get some kind of tax credit for acquiring capital or reporting losses on equipment sold undervalue?

Let us just take a minute and look at this from a real-world perspective. Maybe you dont know dozers and cranes and trucks......

Has anyone seen all the misc small hand tools for sale? A 7 pc screwdriver set for $27. A used chalk line for $4. 1 locking C Clamp for $10. A mason's chisel, in "good" condition, for $7. Used caulking guns for $2. A used wire brush for $2 ????

Who in their right mind is going to pay almost full retail for USED UP construction tools? And then pay to have them SHIPPED!??

Oh, wait. Maybe its cause they have holy spirit still in them........I can frame that trowel on and hang it on my wall, with a small plaque that says: "Helped construct Warwick".

And just think, some young bobblehead is sooo thrilled and privileged to be listing used tools on the interwebs for Ghovah.

How embarrassing.

Tech49, I was thinking the same thing - looked at the prices for the power tools, and I can do much better at the local pawn shop. t

excuse my ignorance, but when you factor the cost and logistics of housing and feeding 3000 volunteers, along with the purchase of 10's of millions of dollars of equipment, for those who would know how is this more cost effective then having the general contractor do all the work?

It isn't. And that would be before you factor in all the added expense caused by incompetent project management. The biggest thing the general contractor brings to the work site is the knowledge of how to do the job. A bad GC can cost you a fortune. Example: on one of the projects I worked on (an apartment building) the floors were installed before the plumbing, which means the plumber had to rip out the floors to install the plumbing. The floors then needed to be replaced. In our case the GC ate the cost (and probably watched his profit disappear).

I have no doubt (and there have been some reports) that this kind of thing happened a lot a Warwick.
