Hit my first yard sale today a half hour before it started. They where wheeling out this gem from the garage. 1985 Honda XL 250r, 3500 original miles. I asked how much, $200. Bought it in a second. They had the pink still. Original owner even drained the gas before storage. Went home, got the...

They are actually hardened. It came from the estate of a machinest, so I assume he hade them. Their hard as hell. A standard center bunch won't even mark them.

Picked this up last weekend at an estate sale for $40. Wilton 9400. Into the blaster, buffer, and paint yesterday, it came out nice. Before After

Isn't that the truth. I've bought a few nice vises still there on the second day. I have got a couple as cheap a few bucks. I usually just unbolt it and drag it to the checkout.

Was working a lot, so I did not get out to any sales last 2 months, but hit a few this last weekend. Got a few odds and ends, but the crown jewel is this Wilton 9400 for $40. Was at a local estate sale. I actually got there an hour after it opened. The garage was ransacked, but I found this vise...

Thank you. It seems obvious now. It was a $1 so I just could not refuse.

Garage sale find. I have no idea what it is. Marked Dayton MFG Co

$30 for that Wilton was a hellova price. Nice find on all that stuff. I've had a few jobs come up, I've been booked, no sales for me, but hey, a bird in the hand. $275 for all that stuff, I would have paid it in a minute.

The SO tool box was a nice score. I got out Friday, but had a job come up and had to had to put in a couple 14 hour days Sat & Sun, so no sales for me. Maybe next week.

That's because all Snap On tools are now made in a factory, in the middle of a leper colony, in India. Slave wage Indian peasants work 30 hour days in dark rooms until their fingers fall off(literally), at which time they are taken out behind their shipping container sleeping quarters and shot...

Some nice finds going on here! Was out early today hitting a few local yard sales. First find was a Krause Multimatic 12' ladder for $20. Next a Schumacher 75Amp smart charger for $5, seems to work, guess ill find out next time I charge a battery. Finally 4 tools from a box of junk marked "$1...

Nice lot of tools there.

Not very much. The only one I felt a little bad about was this one. This is the only pic I could find that I still have, because I sold it, wish I had not now. It's a sweetheart era Stanley No 1. Perfect japaning. No rust, no nothing. I paid $5 for it at an estate sale the family was doing...

I too keep way too much. I cant pass up a deal no matter how hard I try. Same thing, I don't know what it is, but I might be able to use it. I've become jaded in that I've got so many good deals and so much for dirt cheap, I Can't bear to pay retail for anything. I don't think I'm a hoarder(by...

The things people throw away. I'd a picked that stuff up in a minute.

Anyone else buy junk you don't want, to sell and buy junk you do want? I've been doing it for years. Going to yard and estate sales, picking up boxes of **** I don't want but think or know is worth money, and sell or trade it for **** I want. My wife wonders why I don't just go and buy what I...

If I were torqueing anything remotely critical, I would not be using anything from Bottom Of The Harbor Freight.

Went back to the same estate sale, because it was advertised 1/2 price after 1pm. Garage was ransacked. There were two sheds out back that I did not notice the first time, and they were only partially ransacked. No tools left, but some digging and I found a few good items. 2 Halon fire...

Wilton No 3 I picked up. Has 1-47 on the slide.

Sure, be happy to.
