Glad you got such a great deal on that ball joint press set.
There are other threads to post deals you are proud of.
This thread is designed to share good deals guys find on Craigslist that for some reason or another they don’t want for themselves.

just bought OTC (8031) complete in perfect shape $100 Louisville ky craig list feel like I got a great deal.
That's Good, That's Good, That's Great!!:beer: :beer: :beer:
But not trying to be a wise guy, but that is not what this thread is about/for.
Lets say you "Found a deal on craigslist?"
But, it's not a good time for you, No Money, No Room, don't need it. Etc.
So you list it here, so someone else may get it!
Thanks Good Score............BTY

I’d say that for any of the deals posted on these pages the general rule is...

YOU SNOOZE - YOU LOSE

Keep some extra cash separate from your walking around money in case a great deal pops up.
You’ll be at a great disadvantage if you have to ask sellers to hold it for you. Check C/L more than once a day.
You can get a low price, or high quality, or quickly with minimum effort... but not all 3 at once!

This strategy has proved successful for me many times. Consider it a game. If searching for good deals seems like too much work for you, just relax and let others pick them up.

That compressor is probably worth $1000 !!
Note that it is 3 phase.
But even if you have to re power it with another 5 horse motor, it’s still worth it.
And you could resell the 3 phase Baldor to an industrial user.

I sent the seller of the compressor a message saying I would take it. Hope it works out. I had a nice compressor deal fall through a couple weeks ago. Thanks for the heads up.

I've seen this one listed before - it's not too far from Rochester, so I'm a bit skeptical. I saw a similar cabinet sell for the same price within minutes a few weeks ago...I do see some rust(?) on the bottom on that cabinet, so maybe it's a bit beat?

That's ridiculously cheap for a good working compressor.

That’s what I said yesterday. But realize that the post says it has been up for a month. If that was a straightforward deal, even though it’s a 3 phase motor, it would have been GONE a long time ago. Just might be a C/L scammer.:mad:

Big VICE in Bakersfield CA. $25

Lots of oil fields in the Bakersfield area so big vises are plentiful.

600 mile round trip is more than I’d take on for this vise, even if it was free.
But if you’re closer, jump on it. Looks like it might be a big’un.

Another great deal in Santa Rosa. Workbench $25

This workbench is massive. Better bring 2 guys to load it. Some time with a belt sander and a few coats of varnish and you’ll be good to go.

The vise is not as great a deal (separately priced at $40) but OK for what it is. But you can get both for $50 !!!

5 - gladiator cabinets, 1 - 5 drawer craftsman toolbox, 1 - red toolbox

Got down to $450 for everything... the gladiators will be the base of a 14’ long workbench, red ones going to be a side-car on the welding table, Black one will be stacked with another 5 - drawer I have.

I feel like this is a steal, for my purposes anyway... 14’ of workbench is a lot.
