[brett gallmeyer]

So today while I was out garage sale shopping I heard and advertisement for my local ace hardware that was having there end of summer tent sale. I decided to stop by and take a look... I'm glad I did. The cashier told me I missed out cause they had alot more powertools and tons more freud router bits that were boughtout the day before.

Here is my list of what I picked up with there original sale price and what I paid.

Sorry if i rubbed it in but loml didn't understand why this was exciting! and yes I'm probably going to have to sell some of them off to make back my $. I will post an add in the clasifieds soon or everyone's favorite auction site maby, but I really don't want to give any of them up. lol.

Thats gloat worthy!

Ya I may go back tommorow and pick up a few extra or doubles...

[Brian Gumpper]

That is a great score. Wonder why they were selling them out so far below cost. Must have wanted to get rid of them.

An ACE just opened up by me. Can't say I saw any router bits. Saw blades mostly didn't even have carbide teeth. Didn't think they made them that way anymore.

Major score. I love it when stuff like this happens.

If you plan on selling them off for a profit on the classifieds here, you may not want to go posting the price you actually paid. But then again, there might be a few here who wouldn't mind paying half price even if you made 200%.
