I picked this up last weekend. 1" diameter with 1" shaft, 11" long. I appreciate any leads on where I might be able to sell this item.

Apparently those are drip rail/rain gutter pliers for older cars that still had drip rails, so a body work tool.

Small Lista cabinet for $20:
Would it be possible for you to take a picture of the sliding mechanism under the pull out tray? I've been looking for something like that.

Thanks. I was surprised at some of my other finds as well. At the sale where I picked up this stuff up, they even offered me a belt sander setup that I don't have the space for. It's on a bench, with the motor mounted underneath. Free if I take it away, but I'm not willing to give up the space in my garage for it, hopefully they don't scrap it.

Good day today, $40 got me everything pictured. Some of the files are NOS. One is wrapped in a newspaper dated 1936.
Major suckage! I have the same mail box grinder and I love it
I need that stand you found. It is almost so nice you don't want to use it... Great haul

Went out to get gas and to stop at 2 yard sales. First one was the score!
It was a "clear Grampa's garage" Estate sale...
I left a LOT, but these were the best:
Milwaukee 4-1/2 mini Grinder, an SK 1/4 drive set mising at least the extension, but mostly complete, a Proto 3/8 drive Torque wrench - 80 lbft and rust pitted Fence pliers.
5 Imperial Ratcheting box wrenches. I had 2, and these added no dupes!
all I need to complete the set to 15/16 is the 1/2 & 7/8! 3 Blackhawk and 1 SK tubing wrenches 5 Protos
SO combos, the only PROTO exp gear I've ever seen. in 1/4" drive 2 Plvmb wrenches, a Stanley tack puller, Diamalloy Hose clamp pliers, Craftsman ign adn a 1/4" RHFT, Bonney "S" wrench, and a Lectrolite starter and Manifod obstruction wrench.
and I carried most of these away in a WWI Ammo can. I like these better than the common WWII to date type, and you can lever the thing open or closed almost silently. the latch has a slot for a lock loop, and that is easily made with a small U bolt... This one needs striped repainted and a new gasket.
Oh yeah, $15 all

I went to a few local ES/GS events yesterday.
The only item of note was a pair of Peterson 7-R Vice Grips for $1.00. They are currently clamped to the front passenger window regulator holding the window closed in Bob (the 2000 Buick Century) until replacement parts arrive this week.
I ordered new regulators for both the driver and passenger side doors - this is the second regulator out of 4 I will be replacing - so just planning ahead.
While I will have the door panels off I ordered new door speakers to replace the crappy OEM speakers in place. If I'm doing the door speakers I might as well replace the package tray speakers too!
Bob will be rocking once I'm done - I replaced the head unit several months ago.
Cheers

I need help. 
I told myself that I wasn't going to go to the flea market today because I've already spent too much money lately. I was going to stay home and take care of the "to do" list that I've been avoiding. I was doing good, until I got a call from my grandmother saying that her car wouldn't start. She wanted me to go over and help her out. I did (she left her lights on and killed the battery). When I was done, I told myself that I was driving straight home, but my truck had other plans and I ended up in the parking lot of the local flea market instead.
Since it would be impolite to just leave, I got out of the truck and started to wander around. It was almost noon, and all the vendors were packing up, so I thought it would be safe. Wrong.
Near the end of my stroll, I came across a dangerous vender as he was packing his truck up to leave. He specializes in old industrial iron (lathe stands, bench legs, carts, etc.). Right out front - there it was - Kryptonite. I should have made a phone call to the suicide hotline to have someone talk me off the ledge, but no. Instead I opened my mouth and asked "how much ?". He says $125 (a good price, but too much for my wallet). At this point I thought I was safe, but then my tongue twitched and I heard my voice say "how 'bout $100 ?" (doable, but still not good). He says no [THANK GOODNESS]. At this point my tunnel vision is starting to clear and I can walk away. And then - the ******* who just bought a lathe stand off the guy pipes in and says the fatal words to the seller - "If you don't sell it to him for $100, you're just going to have to carry it back into your truck.". I'M DOOMED !
Bottom line - The seller agrees, and I can't back out. So, for a Benny, I picked up a Reed 3C 5" combo vise to add to the growing pile. (I blame my grandmother for making me leave the house.)
Oh - and for $4 at another table I picked up a 5" c-clamp.

I went out for a Freecycle PU (mini Chandelier for SWMBO; no pic) And hit up a mini Block sale.
$10 for a Millwaukee Hole Shooter, 0-650 RPM's 1/2" chuck
And 2 bucks for this Igloo Cool Cruiser - It needed a cord the old one was damaged but I dug in my cord box and low and behold, I had one that fit the jack! Works perfect. this one is much larger than my other 12V coolers which none of them will hold much more than a six pack. this is about the size of a Coleman Oscar.

I went back to the sale I was at yesterday and continued to find things it was like the never ending horn of plenty. The arbor is an Atlas #0, SK, Snap On Matco, The box is a KRA 59G it needs some slides and a paint job but otherwise in good shape. He said if I wanted the box I had to take the bottom section also I couldn't find any info on that one. I ended up paying $200 for everything.

I've got an older one that holds about a six pack. The plastic hinge broke, but it still works. Mine stays in my Jeep all year and I use it constantly. Now you got me wanting a newer/bigger one.
Nice snag...

I stopped a random sale and it wasn't looking good. The garage was open and I asked if anything in there was for sale. Not much as he already threw a lot of stuff away, he inherited the house.
I spied the Bulldog and was checking it out and it obviously meant nothing to him. He then tells me if I can unbolt it and save him the trouble take if for $5
And you might as well take it he said or I will be throwing it out and the work bench to make room in here. I couldn't stand the thought of him throwing it out and accepted his offer If I had the room I would have taken the bench also. I did not expect to find a Prentiss bulldog for $5 today.
