Yard sale bonanza

I went to an estate sale advertised in Hialeah this Saturday. It was in a warehouse, where this fellow lived. He had many of my own tastes. I bought four Japanese-only label Kitato space music CD's, the DVD series about the Third Reich and a couple of CD's of an old Long John Silver TV series that I was lured into buying by a 2002 copyright. No matter, the CD's and DVD's werew $1 and $2 each. The stuff was being sold by the guys' sister and her husband. Lots of tools, but the brother kept most of the Craftsman tools. Then he sold the rest for a dime each...including 10, 13 and 14 Snapon boxend wrenches, a 6 in Crescent wrench, a 1/4 in S-K ratchet and three Dowidat wrenches that I suppose came with someone's VW.

There was also a couple of indoor Terk TV antennas and an outdoor model. The only bad thing is that the hardware was left on the guys' house when he sold it a year ago.

Yard sales are really the way to go for tool bargains.
