First Estate Sale

[Justin1776]

Was going to put this in the Garage sale thread but I have a lot of pics. I went with my girlfriend and her parents this morning. Sale started at 8 but we got their at 5:45 and were 3rd on the list. The estate belonged to a former shop class teacher, and looked like an Ace Hardware inside! I paid right at $250 total for this stuff.
Prices I paid that are not visible with stickers:
Two Blue Point 40oz hammers, Stanley Hammer and 8 gauge 25 foot welder cord, package deal for $45
16" Channel locks $3
(more pics coming)

I actually don't know! LOL my girlfriend found it in a small box on a shelf. She didn't bring any money with her so she added it to her dads bag of stuff. (He got some assortments of sand paper, some hardwood chips for smoking and one of those mirrors with a bunch of alligator clips attached to it) It wasn't marked, so I am assuming a few dollars.

I had my eye on a few things from the start. The very first guy in line came for a sliding double bevel DeWalt miter saw with stand, the second guy went straight for the vise grips as did I. He probably got 2x the amount of vise grips I got. I then went over towards a nice bench vise but found the tap and die set, next to the drill bits. I thew both in my bag (which ended up slitting in half lol) by they time I got my bag situation fixed the vise was gone. Also a 12 speed floor standing Craftsman drill press was gone by the time I got to it. I spent the next half hour scoping for the rest of the stuff.

Here is the link with pics. Nearly all of the "good stuff" was gone by 9 am
