I have not been to Pomona in a while. Last time I was there, prices were outrageous, as with most of the swap meets and flea markets, sure, there is the occasional deal, but yard and estate sales is where I've made a real killing. I got all the furniture in my house from these things. A few...

I'm in the Los Angeles area also. If your looking for deals, I would recommend Craigslist and Estatesales.net. There's no big secret, you just pick a few sales that look good, map them out, and hit the road early. Sometimes you hit pay dirt, sometimes you get nothing. Once or twice a year I hit...

The other guy had a nice pile of **** himself. I saw lots of things in other people's piles I wanted. Just the luck of the draw.

I did go back after dropping off the wife. He was closing up early because he had some family emergency to attend to. Said he would be doing it again next weekend, so I'll go back. There's got to be something else there.

3/4 Proto pebble ratchet and other stuff Ridgid strap and pipe wrenches, Starrett screwdrivers and micrometers, Ridgid extractor set. 2 Porter Cable Stair Ease, a receiver hitch, and some kind of drum or hub puller. A couple Ingersol rand die grinders, some kind of pneumatic banding tool, and...

Have not posted in a while, been working most weekends the past few months, so I have not had a chance to get out to any sales until the beginning Of January. Anyways, I hit the ******** perfect storm of family doing their own estate sale, and hardly anyone showing up till later on Saturday...

A holy grail score today. Found this Stanley #1 in a drawer in the kitchen at an estate sale. Lady running the sale had no idea, just thought it was an old hand plane. Charged me $7 for it. Laughed my *** all the way to the car.

Boy I must be getting old, thanks.

Yard sale find. I'm thinking some kind of piston or snap ring pliers, but am not sure. Anyone seen these?

I would have shelled out $40 for those in a second. Nice find!

I'd a dumped out 3 bengies for that setup in a second. If your reselling that you will do well.

Been hitting yard sales for the past few weekends with no luck till today. Old guy retiring and dumping off everything. Picked up a Hollands 54H 5" pipe vise, thing is huge. Missing 2 of the removable pipe jaws, but everything else looks good. For $50 it was worth dragging out of the weeds. I'm...

That's awesome! I did the same thing when I painted my 68 Bronco. Don't think I would do it again, but is was a fun experience.

Well, I started my business because the real jobs in my field did not pay what I know I'm worth. I work twice as hard, but make 3 times the money. Just because someone takes opportunity does not make them lazy. My goal is too get to the point where I can work less, make more, and enjoy the...

Thanks for the info guys. It's always a wealth of information here.

Probably because there are not that many real jobs left. I buy lots of tools, and other things, at yard and estate sales, some even at the swap meets. I often buy a big pile, keep what I want, and sell the rest to break even and get what I wanted for free, or make a little profit sometimes...

I though distributor wrench, but their 5/8 & 11/16, seems a little big for distributor.

Bought these 4 OTC wrenches at a yard sale. At a $1 each, my inner deal seeker(OK tool hoarder) could not resist. Numbers are 652, 653, 654, 655. Any idea how to find out what they were for?

I buy tools I have no idea what their for at yard and estate sales all the time. If their cheap, I can't help myself. I have a ton of tools, and a ton of **** in the garage in general for that matter. Whenever I see a Wilton bullet vise for a decent price, it ends up in the truck. I sell some of...

Damn, that's cheap. Congrats on a great deal.
