Super rare event for me. A local estate sale with some good stuff in it.

admin

Well there was a estate sale locally this weekend. It's super rare for those to happen here and even rarer for there to be something that I can really use at one.   So here comes the booty. First a box of taps. I thought it was worth $25. The puller on the right I bought outright. I think it was $15 or so. They are really good pullers. The puller on the left was the result of some trading between me and my friend after the sale. It's a OTC puller and well made. Mostly Tubular Micrometer Co mics for $15.

Reply:Now we get to the big lot. I went back today near the end to see what was left. I knew there was some stuff that would be even if some of what I would of liked was gone (I couldn't afford to buy it all at what they priced it at).  Everything you see in this post and the next all came for a lump sum of $100.

Reply:The drawers are all full of pipe fittings and bolts.  The big vice is a Holland and I believe all there. The base has been repaired (probably by my former employer since he and this guy where best friends for years).

Reply:Yes, you had a good day!!! I go to auctions here on average 2 times a month and it usually takes 5-6 auctions to find the one with good deals. It is just a matter  of putting in the time and patience.ChrisAuction Addict
