It followed me home thread
BrianS:
Osage Outlaw,
I hate to see older stuff laying around in disrepair with the chance it will be ruined. Whether it is a old bow, wood snowshoes, old axes, saws, hunting knives etc. If the price is right and it can be refurbished I pick it up when I can. Most of the things are in rough shape when they "Follow me home".Some stuff I use, some is given away to others, sometimes I even sell or trade. Sad to me when some of this old stuff is lost to neglect or misuse. Enjoyed seeing items in this post that others have had follow them home.
Take care,
Brian

I'm the same way. I try to limit my purchases to tools that I use.
Here is some of the stuff that I got from a golf course auction a while back. I got the entire contents of the maintenance room in the clubhouse for $10. My truck bed and cab were packed full. I already sold a metal store display rack, dyson vaccuum, and a wooden drawer unit. I'm well over $100 profit so far. I still have a brand new electric hand dryer, 2 cases of furnace filters, a new furnace fan blade, and a bunch of other stuff that I need to get rid of. Besides all of that stuff I got about a dozen cans of spray paint, most of them are new, a nice metal storage cabinet, a no fire arms sign that I put on the cabinet, a fire extinguisher, some tools, and a solid vise. I would have gladly paid $10 for only the vise. There was also 2 boxes of lost and found stuff and $16 worth of copper and brass.
Some pictures from the auction. The political signs are one sided and make great gun targets.
I left the work bench. It was very solid but I didn't have room for it.
