Title: fun tuesday
Post by: Kepy on October 31, 2012, 08:49:01 am

Had a great day yesterday as I got to attend an estate auction.  Picked up a like new DW788, a little lumber, some hand tools, a large tarp, a couple of whetstones and a couple of sanding belt cleaning sticks plus some more small items hand tools, etc.  All for $236.
Now need to crank up the DW and get my ornament ready for mailing.

You did good!!
I have a similar experience at an auction. I once bought a $200.00+ set of Forrest dado blades for $11.00. I don't think anyone else knew what they were. Another guy there bought a Hawk scroll saw for $75.00. I was bidding against him for awhile but decided that I didn't need another scroll saw. :)
