While shopping for a few odds and ends on my most recent road trip, I spied the characteristic color and shape at the Borg, on the clearance shelf. Quiet afternoon called for the department manager, said I'll take the whole load for $100.00. He helped me loaded all six 25 inchers in the cart and and hand wrote the ticket. :D :D
Normally $35.00 marked down to 25.00. Do the math!
You smooth talking horse traders are teaching me a thing or two. Thanks.;)

Tyler,

I know where there are 11 40 inches marked $33 each, but I didn't need that many that big. Also, I didn't want to make him an offer on all 11. Now, if they had been 24 inches, I might have picked up a few.

Steve, how are you fixed for 40's?

Hey, Chris, he's so excited he can't tell the differance between 24" and 25". Makes you wonder what his projects look like :rolleyes:
Just kidding, congrats on a good deal.

Way to go Tyler!!!

Now you have to get into Chris's bulk buy so that you can finish up (get 5 of each size) the collection of Bessy's you are going to need for all your projects. ;) :D

Of course you are right Chris being the resident expert and purchasing agent for Bessey. I'm looking at price tag and typing the (wrong) size.;)

Turning and burning Dan if I could only stay home long enough. Solid Gold was cooking well into the wee hours last night (to the shagrin of my neighbors) turning out "stops" and "quarter round" molding the for kitchen project. I haven't recouped the cost of my saw or router yet :p but it's the journey right?? Pix to follow.;)

Nice score, Tyler!

I guess now that your daughter is off to Med School, you've got some room in the car for yourself and LOYL to haul home some goodies. I know when we used to take my two girls on road trips, I almost needed to rent a tour bus to carry all of those "essentials" :confused:

My Dr. SWMBO would have a very cute explaination about that...gender-based, of course... :D

Nice score, Tyler. Savvy shopping always requires keeping your eyes open and knowing what things cost.

Tyler,

The one on the right is clearly missing its sticker. It is my sad duty to inform you that these are obviously pirated factory seconds and that you have been ripped off by the Borg. I feel deeply for you my friend so to help out in your moment of emotional despair, I'll allow you to send them to me for disposal and I will graciously compensate you the $100 that the big, bad Borg bilked you out of. :D
