After arriving back home late Christmas day, I was trying to wind down from being out of state to see family. I jumped on Craigslist as I do a few times a week to see if there are any tools for sale that I could pick up for cheap. To my surprise, there was a add placed just 12 minutes prior for a Craftsman HD 5-drawer roll-away... for $35! I fired off a e-mail and asked the poster to call me first thing in the morning as I would buy the the box site unseen.
The poster calls Saturday morning and we make arraignments to pick up the box in the afternoon. At the end of the converstation the seller states he has some tools in a box he will through in. I'm thinking cool, but wasn't expecting much.
Once at the sellers house later in the day I'm giddy as a girl as the box is used, but in very good condition and it was only $35! We load up the box in my truck and at this point I'd forgot about the tools when the seller reminds me of them. I walk back into the garage and he points to a document storage cardboard box that is over flowing with tools! I thank the man, grab the box and load it into the back of my truck. Now the box was an unexpected Christmas present, but the tools were just icing on an all ready sweet deal. The seller stated he was moving to CA to be closer to Grandkids and he didn't have room to take the box or tools.
As you can see in the pictures below, the tools covered most of my workbench. I just had to share my "find" as I always seem to be a dollar short & a day late on finding a sweet deal.

The 3/8" Craftsman ratchet is broken, so it's off to Sears tomorrow to take advantage of that life time warrenty.
