Not a bad garage sale haul...
« on: June 29, 2019, 06:40:21 PM »
Hi Guys....have been busy with the new job and haven't been around here much. Haven't been garage saling much either....but today was pretty good....



The mechanic's tools were all from the last sale of the day and were a buck a piece (even the mityvac) except the row of Snappy torx drives, that was five bucks. The $3 hammer might be a  Cheney with the nail holder above the claw.

This stapler was too cool to pass up.

Yeah that stapler is way cool.
Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

Without counting the sign or stapler, I see $200 resale value easily on the used market.  Heck, the Snappy torx are $15 a piece.


How are you liking the new job?  IIRC, you switched from props to scenery.

And the TR6?
