Good yard sale score

[brihvac]

Was driving by a yard sale and decided to stop. I saw a box of tools and kinda picked through it some. The guy came up to me and said to give him $40 for the box. I saw some nice looking MasterCraft wrenches and actually pulled 2 Matco wrenches out and saw some full polished wrenches in the bottom. There was other people looking at the other tools he had so I told the guy I would give him $35 which he accepted. Here is what I found in the bottom of the $35 box of tools.

You got your moneys worth.

What a deal !

Nice find! I need to frequent yard and garage sales much more often. Years ago I was a regular, mostly looking for military surplus despite being a mechanic. Now, I'm in the Army and look mostly for tools.

 

[mitusa]

Just wondering.....was the guy who took your $35 the guy running the yard sale???

Nice score....I wonder why I can't find these deals?

 

[bobbar]

nice score man!

 

[justafurnaceman]

You ****! Awesome score!

 

[jeffmoss26]

you ****! the SO screwdrivers alone are worth the 35

 

[bmwpower]

Who sells Snap On at yard sales? Geez.

 

[jethro29]

[Syndicate]

[930dreamer]

lol, I sure hope so

I knew the polished wrenches had to be good ones, I thought maybe Matco because I did see some. With all the other people around looking at tools I did not want empty the box in front of them and get into a bidding war. Thats why I kept it low key.
These are my first SnapOn's I have basically all Craftsman

 

[wornoutoldman]

Oh yeah you really ****....

 

[Outlawmws]

MAJOR Suckage! Just wow...

 

[jabberwoki]

Great score suckage indeed!!

 

[SweetD]

Good for you - nice way to "upgrade" your collection!

[colt zantop]

yup...YOU ****....wish I could find some snappy at a garage sale!!!

 

[Super Sport]

This calls for a major YOU ****! I just sold a bunch of SO stuff on eBay tonight, and that stuff is worth its weight in gold!

I one time got a box of SO sockets for $10 at an estate sale. Once I had it in my hand everybody wanted to buy it! It was a killer deal but not this good!

 

[dieselmike]

by garage sale, do you mean crack head with stolen goods?

 

[ajchien]

That definitely *****.

Damn.....Nice score !!! You easily got $400-500 (new) worth of tools for $35.I hope you went and played the lottery cuz you one lucky sum-be-otch !!

LOL, no way. This guy looked like a nerdy teacher in a very nice house. Most of what he had was baby cloths. I did also buy a shovel for $5

 

[JeremyManning]

its funny when I see that someone went to a yardsale and I look outside at my 4 feet of snow in the yard

 

[ol'Red]

Shame you spent so much. But me being the good guy I am; I'll give you 40 for the wrenches to help you recoup your losses.
JK that is the best yard sale find as far as tools I have ever seen.

 

[rsieracki]

Okay I hear a sound, what could it Be? O yah you ****. Very nice score.

i was hoping it was the sound of the horse shoe falling out of his ***... in which case slip that horseshoe in a FRB and send it my way because i never get deals like that

Damn.....Nice score !!! You easily got $400-500 (new) worth of tools for $35.I hope you went and played the lottery cuz you one lucky sum-be-otch !!

no kidding i would have bought a ticket too

 

[idoitproject]

You sir, sucketh!

 

[bob08]

Seeing stuff like this makes me think that allot of guys don't tell their significant others/family members what they spend on their tools.

"Geez, we've got to clear all of grandpa's old junk out of the garage. Hey, let's have a yard sale..."

Kind of mind boggling.

Nonetheless, that's a great haul, hope you enjoy the tools.

 

[brihvac]

I went to 3 yard sales today. I think I am spoiled now because I was disappointed at the junk that was there. I went with high hopes because I very rarely goto yard sales.

 

[geologist]

I bet his *** is still bleeding because for $35 you stuck it to him. That is one hell of a deal you got there.

 

[Omphaloskeptic]

brihvac, okay, it's been said by many, 'You Sucketh!'! That doesn't look like a 'nice' score, that is a GREAT score! Want to make yourself feel really good? Start looking up the prices for some of those tools on Ebay and really make your day.

“You've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya punk?” lol
