I went into this pawnshop

[john k]

Over lunch this week, I made a quick trip thru the pawnshop.   Interesting stuff in the front cabinets, interesting prices.   But at the back, he has a five dollar hammer bucket, for hammers I can get for a dollar at auctions.   In the old screwdriver drawer with twofer a buck pricing, found a Starrett six inch rule.   It is the thick one without a pocket clip.   Measures down to 64ths.   I thought the fifty cent price was okay?   The 3 screwdrivers weren't terrific, but good users.   TGIF

Fifty cents for a Starrett?  Oh, you got robbed, but I'll give you a dollar....
