I don't have none of the stuff to sell you but if you want I can give you a few good suggestions, from someone who has bought the wrong stuff before and learned.
Air compressor, screw the cheap junk. Unless it is old. I mean really really old. Mine is a 54 model and is oh so nice because of how quiet it is. I could use a little more cfm.
Tractor supply runs some killer deals in the winter and sams club does occasionally too. AVOID CRAFTSMAN.
Transmission jack, it depends on how much you are goign to use it. I bought mine from americasprideonline.com. 2 stage is worth it.
Drain caddy. Get one with a discharge hose usually $200 or less on ebay.
Bench vise. flea market....
Grinder, whatever is cheap. The craftsman I have has served me well for over 10 years of daily use.
air tools. can I stress INGERSOL RAND. Check http://www.northerntool.com and http://www.use-enco.com Look in the sales flier of enco on the last few pages. There is a link to it on the site.
Hope that helps didn't want to step on your thread but thats my $.02

thanks for the info bud. we are looking to pick up a nice used compressor if we can. Its just a hobby type thing so we are looking to do everything on the cheap. I've been searching ebay and the list. I'll check that jack site.

Keep checking this place out. They usually have an auction for some of that stuff every now and then. So of it is in Ohio, some of it isn't.

There's a guy up in blanchester area that posts on craigslist. Look at PSI. If it won't run at least 150 psi keep looking.
WHen tractor supply runs that special this winter that they did last winter I'm buying one of theirs to put in my oil tank storage area and hook both of mine together.
