Last stop of the day, a box of mostly craftsman tools and other junk, some additional HF garbage, guy says $10 for the box. I look at some of the Craftsman, and they have the A-AE and S-AE stamps, uhg, China, but for 10 bucks, I take it all.

Wow, that one brought a hefty price.

Here's a socket one that sold on eBay for $200. I would say their worth $200 to $300 a piece., but having the wood display box could easily add a nice premium to the price. Their also older than the ones I have seen sell. I would not be surprised if someone paid in the $1500 to $2000 range for...

The sander is earmarked for my shop(if it wasn't, I would think about taking you up on that offer) Not tool related, but there is a lady around here who does one day estate sales, and has half price after 1:00. I was at her sale earlier in the day on Saturday, and saw this Price Pfister...

Got these last Saturday at one of about 15 yard sales I hit. First a Kalamazoo SM1 1" belt sander I got for $50. It looks hardly used. I thought that was a pretty good deal, so I did not try and haggle any on it. Second 2 USA made Desco wire gauge drill sets, all brand new/unused. A 1-60 and a...

I don't post much, but I love to browse the garage sale finds and see what people are getting, from the single piece to the mega scores. I go a fair amount when I'm not working, and the hunt is really my hobby now. They don't happen too often, but once in a while I fall into a mega score for a...

$3 for a Workmate, in perfect shape to boot. Nice! I'm going to throw out a big YOU **** to Outlaw on that Proto/SK score, $25, good grief, what a score. I was out again ******* off the local residents holding yard sales with my cheapness and scored this Ridgid 848 48" aluminium pipe wrench...

Hope you have some quick healing. The back injuries are painful, having had one myself.

Not much post worthy until yesterday, I went to someone doing their own estate sale one city over. First I picked up this Ingersol Rand SS3L# unused compressor still wrapped in the cardboard crating. Guy bought it and never installed 220, so there it sat. A friend of mine and the people running...

Cool, thanks guys. I think I'm going to use it as a bench top whatever drill, since I do some brass model building.

Opens to 1/8". Will a router speed control work on an AC brushed motor?

I thought it might have had a speed control also, but there is a cut off switch behind the plate. Looks like it was made like that.

Never seen one of these before. Was at an estate sale and found it under the kitchen table. When I saw it was a Jet, and made in Japan, I took it up to the front. $45, I was hoping it was going to be more expensive so I could reason not to take yet another piece of equipment home, but my inner...

I just might do that. Found in the tomb of the great Ramses the 3rd.

It's on an old hand vise, never seen it before. Anyone else ever see it?

After a couple stellar weekends, alas, this weekend was an absolute bust. It was a parade of broken kids toys, baby clothes, and worthless junk.

What are those things now, like $100, $3 is a nice price, delivered even.

Braved the rain and went out today browsing last day estate sales looking for deals. Bought a 50lb container of R12 that weighs out at 28.9lb's for $3. I have absolutely no use whatsoever for R12, but at $3, I could not resist. I really do enjoy looking through peoples scores here. Thumbs up to...

Kid was having the sale again this morning, this time I showed up without the wife. Was myself, and the same guy from last week in line, that's it. I guess people figured it would be picked out. Nothing left in the tool boxes, so I dug down on the floor. Certainly not the ripe pickings of last...
