Since that auction listing is not in the United States of America, they didn't spell "vice" wrong at all.  You just forgot to translate my English into yours

Well, I'll be damned.

I learned something new today.  Thank you!

No big scores on this one.  (Except maybe one. I won't elaborate now, so as not to jinx myself.  You'll definitely be hearing about it here if it comes to fruition.)

This one's in the bag now.

Not bad, not bad.

I got a furnace for free once.

Did your free furnace have A/C built into it?








Just got my free gas pack back to the shop tonight...   

Congrats!

Be careful though,....this is how hoarders get started.

The correct term is "collector," or "acquirer."

Oh, you have no idea what I'm up against.

I have about 15 years of my father's hoarding that I'm trying to sort through and get him to part with right now.

Like 300 sheets of styrofoam insulation on pallets.  He thinks they're worth something, but the fact that I showed him half a dozen listings on craigslist where people can't find anyone to buy the shit for less than half of retail made no difference.

Oh I'm glad he collects that stuff. I have a few sheets here I want him to have. it takes up too much space in my curbside garbage can.

Guess what I picked up for less than half of retail?

Cool...

now you have a place to keep your sawzall and BMFH.

And Travis

I'm really disappointed in myself.

But in the spirit of full disclosure on my Vice Deal King application, I feel I need to share my failures as well.

I had a chance to buy a 22 ton excavator for less than $12,000.  Has 5,200 hours on it and a new engine with only 370 hours.

But I couldn't get there to pick it up soon enough (it's 4 hours down the interstate and requires a lowboy to move it), so it was sold to someone else.   





Nice toolbox!

Pretty cool, but you still paid too much.

I was gonna be nice and not say anything. 

Nonsense-anything you can purchase and resell for substantially more than you paid for it is a deal.
