r_olson_06 **** of the century! Mind boggling.

This morning I was able to scratch a 20 year itch. I used to buy storage auctions back before the TV show came out. I brought home from one a single wheel chock that is the "bestest ever", and never saw another one again. Today I found a mate for a buck. These guys have teeth on the bottom that...

Last Saturday after 3 community yard sales and about 50 miles starting at 6:30 to 11:00 with minimal purchases, I decided to commit another 20 miles travel to another community sale, that is always well attended & I figured all the good stuff was already gone. Wrong. First house I stopped at &...

There are about 4 outfits that run in person estate sales my area. One I totally ignore. The other three I only go to if their photos show a junky garage or basement. Once there, I ignore anything with a price tag. I dig and make a pile tossing tools along with 1/2 empty bottles of oil and...

Went out Thursday to a church rummage, then on the way home decided to swing through 3 different towns that had their main days listed as Friday and Saturday, So sort of a TOO situation. A baby Channellock & a B & C at a buck each. Priced at $8.00 Craftsman 1/2 breaker sockets & a RHFT, and...

Dollar days.... Yard sale Mitutoyo caliper had a $1.00 price tag but was dead. Bought some LR44 batteries on ebay for $4. delivered Works like a champ. Klein coax compression crimp. $1.00 Church rummage sale had this 12lb York Roundhead USA stamp, priced at $2.00 (but it was half price day)

Got this set in a yard sale "fulla junk" tool box for 20 bucks. Thought it worth sharing. Long C Vanadium with BC Stamp (New Britain?) Tin sleeve slides over to hold the set in place.

Yer shittin me! Ok never had an RV. I suppose I could still use it to collate xerox copies afterward?

Ok, it's been a while. Yard sales are over, & firewood cutting season is upon us. But yesterday out of the blue, I got a phone call from someone I had left my phone number with at their yard sale, (two years ago) when I asked if they ever would want to sell any of the mechanics tools that might...

Yep Timoboy ***** on the $50. Snap-on set fer-sure.

Lard! The box is worth the price. Never heard of lard oil. Imagine the cook of the house wondering why there are metal shavings in their breakfast.
