![]() I feel like gloating, haven't had this good of auction day in quite a while: I got this weed badger for speculation only. New ones are $6K. https://www.purplewave.com/cgi-bin/m...i?131023/E5208 Tractor air compressor for pruning, mine is shot after only 30 years of use. Not sure of a new price for this, probably $2K. https://www.purplewave.com/cgi-bin/m...i?131023/E5206 I bought this mower mostly for speculation or spare parts. A new one goes for $5K. Anyone with a GREAT memory knows I rebuilt mine this summer. Wish this had come up before my old one died. Again, after only 30 years of hard use. https://www.purplewave.com/cgi-bin/m...i?131023/E5202 Now i got enough work for winter, like I was worried about not finding something to do in the shop.

It's only too bad you didn't end up giving Iggy-type, super-low bids -and- winning all the auctions. Congrats. You suck. -- Worry is a misuse of imagination. -- Dan Zadra |
