Ya DQ is probably my second favorite only to Braums. My local DQ’s food has gone down hill since it got new owners sadly. I would get him one if wanted. But all he ever gets is a 6 piece chicken strip basket and a coke. With the gravy exchanged for bbq sauce.

So today I had the best haul I think that I’ll ever have! So I work for a small town and our shop has tools ranging from the early 1900’s all the way to bought yesterday. And I was finally able to convince my boss to let me “buy” some of our stuff. We made a deal to where if I replaced it and...

Ya I agree, I do have a hand full of m18 and a couple of m12 tools. I just figured buying that these were cheaper than buying just the battery new. Also you can never have too many battery’s. And like I said the electric in my garage is basically non existent, I tried having my lights on and a...

Today I had to go the courthouse a couple of towns over and whilst there I figured I’d hit up some pawn shops. The first one had a Milwaukee grinder and a 5.0 battery for $90 but I was able to talk him down to $60. I’ve been looking for one for a while because my garage and outside lights are...

Cranking the screw😏 moves the entire upper part and yes it is broken.

Ya it is kinda odd, I plan to try and clean it up today and after that I’ll probably put some pics in the vice thread and see if any one knows anything about it

Yesterday I went to a ton of sales. I stayed in town and ran some errands. When I got home I was so tired because It seemed like almost every other sale I helped someone load something heavy. I moved 2 fridges, an electric fire place, a freezer and a bunch of shelf’s, cabinets and other misc...

That is a very neat lamp, my parents have a similar one buts it’s white. I will pass though, I’m not big it having little figures on my decor. But you could probably get anywhere from $25 to $125 if you found the right buyer. Also I’m only 20 and try to buy older stuff because that’s what my...

Thank you for the links, I’ll have to take a look though them. And mcm is short for mid century modern. It refers to an era of design from the end of World War ll up into the 70’s

Very cool stories! I have so many memories of going to garage sales and picking up mcm stuff or tools or car parts with my parents. Just curious is there a thread for mcm or vintage decor? Or something along those lines?

Today’s Estate sale finds, $19 for everything. They were using the screwdriver to take a door down so they could get a refrigerator out of the house. I joking asked him if it was also for sale. I knew the guy doing the sale and he said for you $1. So I of course had to get it. I do apologize if...

Yes they were, these were all of the boxes I could find but I think there were some more parts from other lots. If there anything there that you or anyone else would want please let me know, I have no use for them and would be happy to send them to someone who could use them.

Thank you! Do you also know about what their value would be? I already have a Plomb and Proto set. So I don’t need these

As I posted in the garage sale forum I bought these in an online auction. I was hoping to get some help identifying exactly how old this stuff is, thanks in advance!

Not exactly a Garage sale find but an online auction buy. I took a shot in the dark because the description of the lot didn’t say anything about tools. But looking at the pictures in the can looked like some big sockets and so I figured for $5 I can’t go wrong. Also this is my first post so I...
