Title: Finally a score
Post by: Neals on August 11, 2012, 10:41:25 PM
Went to a Wed auction. Most I've went to the last while I came home with nothing. This was a good one. $40.00 poorer but best score since last year. Lots of Asian but some good stuff. Haven't had time to sort it all.

You got your $40 worth!

I would have cheerfully paid the $40.00 for the military boxes for storage.

You got all of that for 40 bucks!?!?   That's not a deal, it's a steal!  Well done, there are some great tools there.

WOW!! You didn't just buy 'some' tools, you bought the whole shop for $40. Nice haul! The wow is green with envy.

Seeing as how the .50 cal MG ammo box goes for 10, and the 20MM ammo box goes for $20,  the boxes alone  were half free, then the tools were just gratis!   What, no one else showed up?   I'd been wanting one of those B&D shop boxes, and some other stuff I'd have gladly bid against you on.   You're set for life on drill bits, and some other things.   I'm going out to the shop now and sulk.

I cannot even begin to comprehend all those tools for 40 dollars!
Must be a joke to wake us up, eh?

No joke. A poorly advertised sale in town with a farm auction nearby at the same time. About 40 showed up for the sale and most were women so the girly stuff went a bit higher. Tools were near the end and a major thunderstorm was in sight by then. The auctioneer just pounded the stuff through in large lots to beat the storm. The dealers were all at the farm sale.
