bob123 Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) Deep irony of me wanting a good scroll saw.... I went to an estate sale they had ALLLLL this stuff for dirt cheap. First thing I saw was the lovely craftsman scroll saw on the floor. With the 20$ price tag on it. Handed the guy a 20 right there. (Came with over 20 spare saw blades!!) Then walked around the massive garage and saw this massive box full of clamps lol. I asked him how much he was selling the clamps for, "Oh, like 3 bucks for the big ones, 2 bucks for the little ones, how many you want?" I immediately grabbed the box, asked if anyone needed any clamps (some took a few, shoulda kept my mouth shut), said I wanted all of them. Grabbed the dremel contour sander, router bits, hole saw set, allen wrench set, tang nippers, and craftsman vice grips hanging out... carted it all up to the dude, and asked how much..... He said "For all that? Just gimme 25$ since you bought other stuff"... Yes I am indeed happier then a pig in @%^$ right now Edited April 11, 2012 by bob123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
