***** to be that guy, but, then again, if he violated the covenant of marriage, he deserves it...

Karma is something not to be trifled with.

I'm sure in her mind he deserves it. But, absolutely no good can come of that.

If I were presented with that opportunity, I would pass. Wouldn't want to be involved in anything like that.

In my mind, it not too different from buying stolen tools.

Why get mad when you can get even?

This has all the makings of a Master Card commercial (albiet a very sick and twisted one)

Air Compressor - $500
Toolbox - $1,000
Hand and Power Tools - $3,500+
Look on the ex-husband's face when he finds out everything was sold for $20 - Priceless.

It's funny how some of you are quick to say that it's the guy's fault. How do you know this ***** is even telling the truth. She could be ready to leave with her boyfriend and wants to screw the husband before she leaves. Could be one of a number of things.

To all the ladies out there...Selling your husband's is grounds for death. Just remember that before you think about selling his stuff.

It apears to me that the husband is gone. Sometimes it comes down to just wanting to be gone and you leave everything behind just to get away. She seems like the kind of woman that it would be worth leaving everything behind just to get away from her!

I would not enjoy using tools that I bought in that fashion.

It would be interesting to know the circumstances under which she obtained those tools.

Hopefully the judge takes that into consideration if it is a pending divorce. Me thinks that if the husband comes home at the time the guy comes over & is loading up all his tools he might get more than his 20 worth. The ex wife may not fare too well either. This is the kind of thing I like to stay away from.

I'm sure the tool value would definitely come out of any settlement and the ad would be the proof.

I think I would avoid that situation.

On second thought, I know I would avoid that situation. Maybe even the entire neighborhood.

Theres two sides to every story

Hence the use of the word "IF". I said "IF he violated the convenant of marriage."

IF IF IF IF IF.

IF she's a cheating ***** who's responsible for the end of the relationship, then I hope the tool chest tips over and crushes her when the purchaser is moving it to take possession.

How's that?

Yeah.... I don't care if they're giving Snap On stuff away. Best not to get involved in that whole situation. There are plenty of other ways to buy tools.

Pretty sure this deal was legit. My score from craigslist lastnight.
Morgan #35 vise for 10 bucks. Little clean up and new paint it'll be good to go. Also since my son moved away for college and took my garage TV I got one Monday night off craigslist. One year old Phillips 20 inch stereo TV $30 works great.

You're not married, are you? :bounce:

He probably isn't. My wife refers to everything that is ours (like the house) as her's. I've tried correcting her everytime I've heard it since we were married last October, but she isn't taking the hint.

My first thought was pay the $20 and then give the whole lot back to the guy getting screwed.

This sounds like something my Sons X would do. Luckily I got down to Texas and got all his tools before She could do it. Still there were some things I had to leave because they wouldn't fit in the truck.

A few things come to mind when I see this ad...

This is the first ^. I would add to it though. I would help him transfer them to his truck right in front of her house. The second is as another poster mentioned. They would definitely be part of her divorce settlement only she underestimated the value severely, get my drift? Then I'd probably do something juvenile like bean her yard one night.:bounce:

I'll tell you but remember this is only for educational purposes.

what the hell is "beaning" a yard?

You take a coffee can full of pinto beans and throw them all throughout the yard one night. Later they start sprouting. It's an old prank.

never heard of that one ... i will add it to my list of

- rolling a yard (the old toilet paper in the trees)
- confetti a yard (just as it sounds ... try cleaning that up)
- dieseling a yard (put diesel fuel in a hand sprayer ... write impolite things in the yard with the sprayer - added bonus, it last all summer!)

Years ago my friends ex did something very close to this to him. When they divorced she agreed to allow him to leave a Model A pick-up on one side of the two car garage after he moved out. I do not know what motivated her to do so but she took out an ad in the local newspaper all but advertising the A bone as free to the first caller! This story is rather funny in that my friend is a local deputy with the sheriff's dept. I got involved when my friend wanted me to go with him to his old house, one of his sons let him in. He took a log chain and locked the A to the steel garage center post. He then beat cheeks across town and picked a trailer up with his truck and promptly got back and removed his old A. The funny part is the ex finally had to have her phone # changed cause the phone was ringing non stop 24-7 and just would not quit! (true story, I saw the ad!)
