Only one garage sale.
« on: August 24, 2012, 11:45:51 PM »
Coming thru town this morning I saw but one garage sale sign.   Before I headed downtown for a burger I  followed the markers to the sale.   Looked like a clean out everything, we're moving sale.   Some Taiwan tools in a cardboard box, along with a Milwaukee battery device.  By the garage, no, not rust, but a Black & Decker Workmate work bench.  It was folded up, so I expanded it, looking at all the cobwebs, no rust anywhere.  Then I realized the top was pristine.  Model 425, with black work surface, and geared vise hand cranks.  Walked around it, and can see nothing saying its ever, been even slightly used.   I have 2, do I need another one.  This has the 2 levels, folding feature, unused, garage sale so there is no tax, hmmm.   I bought it, found out her dad had bought a bunch of woodworking stuff and never used it.   Looks like they go for $100 plus, I paid 30, I think I got a good deal.  I have another one that has the two level legs, but I got it for free.   I see a pattern and sorta like it.

 I have one of those too. They're great. Great buy too. Mines used but not abused even though I weld on mine. With a piece of steel plate on top of it.
