$2.00 cleanup wood pile and cabinet contents purchase last Saturday.

I was at the auction to buy tools, and did buy some.  In the corner of the shop was a pile of short wood and an old low cabinet.  For $2.00 I bought the wood and the cabinet contents which appeared to be old rags.  Could not see into the cabinet while standing up so I got down on my knees to look inside.  All shown in the previous picture was pushed up against the back wall.  Includes 1000 rounds of Reminton 223, 60 rounds of winchester 5.56, 67 12 gage shells, 450 remington 22LR some clips, cleaning kit and supplies.

That's a steal! I was getting some shotgun shells from Midway here recently and noticed most of their ammo was out of stock, no matter what. Between COVID, and the upcoming election, it's caused a lot of runs on ammo.

Damn near earned yourself a " you suck" award. Amo up here in Canada is way more than it is in your land.

Down here ammo is so expensive that farmers have signs advising burglars that warning shots are no longer given.

Oh it was definitely "you suck" worthy, but I wasn't going to say it with all of those tangible responses.  :grin:
