We buy mostly mining gear, drill steel, underground mining equipment, safety supplies, etc, etc, etc.

On a given day, I can spend up to $50,000.  One day I had to negotiate the purchase of a 45 ton underground truck and other associated equipment.  Cost was around $2,000,000.00 if memory serves me.

Probably the most oddball thing I have bought is a firetruck.

You need it, we'll get it.

Its soo much fun buying stuff all day. :D

That sounds like a great job, my dad back in '71 was on the other side as a Caterpillar salesman in Angola, Namibia most of his sales went to mining companies.
