2017 Garage Sale Thread

[fowldarr]

My find of the day isn't super impressive, but it does have a story. I was in Eugene,OR, for a meeting today. I pulled in, as usual, tucking my Toyota Tundra in a too-tight space between a BMW and a Mercedes and proceed upstairs for the next four hours of meetings. I come back to my truck around noon, easily finding my truck in the line of luxury cars. Sitting behind my truck is a black handled screwdriver. Traces of blue paint on it. A quick examination reveals it to be a Snap-On (I hear they make ok stuff). I take another look around, notice that the BMW has been replaced by a Tesla. The only other 4wheel drive for three rows is a newer x5. No idea where this little guy came from. I guess I am now one of those guys who can claim that 'tools just kind of find me'.

[fowldarr]

Hey swing, just so you know, I mean I hope I'm not being too forward, but your pics might be a teensy bit larger than necessary.

How rude! I think your tone is just ..... fowl..... lol

 

[fowldarr]

I hate to 'press' the subject, but if you can 'swing' it consider making them smaller next time

Welp, 'dar' wasn't no way fer me to know they were running a-'fowl' with everyone.

 

[fowldarr]

Notify the 'press' that one was a 'swing' and a miss

Now back to regularly scheduled programming.

Blackhawk 3/8 ratchet. Handscrew, wooden block plane and a few levels. The bucket has a couple of dozen jigsaw blades. The hatchet is a Belknap "Blue grass"

Next stop was a CL buy. I went to get a Skilsaw 8 1/4" but I also picked up a Rockwell 8 1/4 and 30 odd feet of service entry cable.

Final stop was HF where I picked up a set of adjustable reamers and a box of nitrile gloves from the clearance shelf. And I got to use an additional 20% coupon.

Man, I'm gone out of town for a week and you guys find some killer stuff as always.

I was out in the sticks with one bar of signal... The one day we go to town and as we are driving around from store to store I see a garage sale sign! Unfortunately my friend turned down the idea as we had a lot to do and were burning daylight...

I did get a package in the mail while I was gone, haven't opened it up yet but it will hopefully be a good one.

 

[EOC_Jason]

So this is what came while I was out of town... Looks like it was never used, just really dusty! Bought off eBay, so technically not a garage sale find, but the seller was missing one important keyword so I feel like I got a good deal for $35 shipped.

 

[M_George]

Hi Eoc_Jason. I have one that came with my block. Could you scan the manual that came with yours and post it?

 

[mike_paxton]

Was about a week ago but,
Picked up this 1999 dodge Cummins 2500 about 7:00 in the evening. Very clean, all stock. Matches my pull truck.

Gave it a nice wash and vacuum.


Sold for little over double the next day.

 

[Waggoner72]

Then two days ago i picked up this bobcat 743 with supposedly a bad injection pump for $2200. Will probably tear into it tomorrow. Plan to keep it but who knows what will happen.

 

[EOC_Jason]

You sure get a lot of use out of your trailer Waggoner! LOL...

M_George - Sure, I'll scan it this afternoon for ya.

You might find this interesting! Was just posted. Might be a good deal for someone.

Looks like the typical scam post to me. Thanks though.

That is one of the few things that I bought brand new, but it has made me a lot of money. It has held up great. I bent one of my fenders recently from a culvert slamming on it which made me sad. Oh well.

I called..... thought I recognized it..... you were right [emoji17]

Hi Eoc_Jason. I have one that came with my block. Could you scan the manual that came with yours and post it?

Here's the Owner's Manual for the grinding attachment. I saved the PDF on my Google Drive, let me know if you have any issues viewing / downloading it.
