Friday 2 community yard sales. Picked up some barbell weights to flip on ebay (not pictured) In general, prices seemed a little high on things like clothing. Always looking for blue jeans for cheap. One place was selling them for 10 bucks. Stimulus checks chasing less produced goods? But I...

Strategic gorilla picking tactician techniques. :lol: Glad the mechanic friend in charge of pricing didn't start out with the words we hate to hear..... "Well, ... I know how much he paid for these tools...".

I'd like to hear more about how you worked out "who got what, & how price was determined". Were you bumping shoulders with "guy & kid"?

Toss it. They leak. Then be on the lookout for one that has the integrated funnel.

Yep, what he said! One of the nicer middle boxes I've seen.

Awesome guys! I hope you can remember your anniversary dates as well as you remember your tools. Me, I can't remember what I just had for lunch.

Picked up this wrench in a lot. Am trying to figure out what it was used on. My last spin onto a carburetor fuel filter was my 78 351 Windsor. I don't recall it being that hard that a regular wrench or even a deep well socket was able to do the job. I see 3 of them for sale on ebay, but the...

cmccuist1 Major suckage on that greenlee set. As someone who in another life paid over $20. for a single punch size, I know you did very well. :beer:

jwsia, Ok you definitely **** on 7 bucks for those 2 hammers. Funny the bit about the 9.99 harbor freight screwdriver. :beer:

Indeed. 30 years ago I started a business by talking on the phone to a guy on the other side of a glass window, having a guard give him a check to endorse, handed back to me, & I delivered it to his dad's place for a lawyer's legal retainer. He wasn't getting out on bail. I bought his inventory...

Here is a better focused of the what I believe you are correct reversed 2016. The others will be named "Diamond Strike limited edition" :)

Yes all but two have the same diamond stamp. The two that are different also are weird. they look similar to the 2019, but are closed at the top, making the letter e. :willy_nil

Here is a Facebook purchase. All are nearly new condition Snap-on. 7 piece SAE OEXL Wrenches 2017 date 10 piece 0° non reversing ratcheting set SOXRM metric. 2018 date 3/8" drive Metric Deep sockets. 3 piece striking scraper set. Can someone help me with the date on the sockets? Looks like a...

Repaired a chain saw gas tank (plastic). Cleaned it off, sanded it, then sprayed a couple times with brake cleaner to eat any remaining oil. Saw ran like that 3 years till it died, no leaks. I think it's all about the prep work.

They were junk. But todays junk tools are mostly plastic. Yesterdays junk was made with actual brass. Whatever floats yer boat right?

You **** at $15 for the needle nose. The rest is gravy. Easy to find those brass nesting screwdrivers in junk kitchen drawers, but rare to find the hammer heads.

Just brought home & cleaned up this 7 piece 1986 set. Chrome is nice. Edit: Dang, just noticed that the 3/8 x 5/16 is a duplicate. :mad: Anybody have a nice spare 9/16 X 5/8 (that I should have) 1985 1986 they want to get rid of?

If you mean for blacksmithing, I'm thinking they are too thin/lightweight.

Very few yard/moving/estate sales in January this locale. With morning coffee, I have been trying to get a handle on using facebook marketplace, as well as offerup to find buying opportunities. Both have a few deals, as well as a large number of WTF listings. Lots of used Harbor Freight stuff...
