Okay, you shamed me into buying a copy.

Man, you're EASY! bseg



I recently bought 83 books for 11 cents each. I missed a deal on
2500 books for $300 recently. They would have been 12 cents each.


So once you went though the books you bought and separated them into keepers and *******,
what did your score turn out per copy?



All 83 are books I wanted. I sorted through over 3000 books when I
picked them out for 11 cents each. Most are classic Sci-Fi and will
replace some of what was stolen, years ago.

There are literally tons of used books for sale around here. So many
that I don't have room to take them. I filled the last of the shelves
in my library, and have to build more. Even worse, I will have to
reinforce the floors if I put in more shelving. At least I found a belt
drive 10" Craftsman table saw a few days ago. (113.298150) It's an old
model that doesn't have much that can go wrong, when compared to modern
saws. I am going to clean it up and replace the bearings, then paint
it. It looks like the old table saw has a bad Klixon thermal motor
starter that is no longer available. it has been replaced several
times, and the motor rebuilt twice. This saw uses an external 120/240
volt motor that can be replaced with lots of common, easy to find
motors.

I think that the table extensions from my old Craftsman table saw
will fit, so I am planning to hinge them to one side of the saw to let
me lay a full 4' wide sheet of plywood on it without needing a helper.
The fun will be getting an accurate alignment for the fence between the
sections.
