[Ted Phillips]

I *live* in Virginia, and it is still too far for me...

The real question is, did anyone make it to this sale?

Those tools look way too pristine to get a good deal. Reminds of the tool collector you'll run into at an antique show with tons of tools who wants $75.00 for a Stanley No 4 with a broken tote. There's a reason he still has that many tools to sell.

[Jim Van Verth]

None of my other tools are shiny, so this way they match.

How far north are you?

[Andrew Hughes]

I don’t see any thing I would need. Except that pencil sharpener!
I like vintage pencil sharpeners

[Jim Matthews]

Yep.

How many sales have we attended where price requests are met with "Oh, THAT'S not for sale."

I'm a sucker for vintage pencil sharpeners. Just picked up a Boston Ranger 55 for the shop

As usual, what's need got to do with it Andrew? :-)

Yep.

I hear that. Another one that bugs me is being one of the first ones into a sale and seeing things with "Sold" on them before the sale even started.

Ben, ever heard the saying "Without pics it didn't happen"? ;-) I only need one but I'm still waiting for it to cross my path. :-)

Picked it up today. Woman was selling it for $15 on Facebook.

Real nice pencil sharpener Ben!

[Jacob Reverb]

I bought a pencil sharpener like that on ebay several years back. Alas, it makes my pencils look like they've been chewed upon by geriatric, mostly toothless woodchucks.

[Andrew Hughes]

Real nice pencil sharpener Ben!

Yes that’s a good one Ben.

[Edwin Santos]

I think he was saying that in jest. Most of us here are happy when we see those "YOU SUCK" gloats. It means that there's still a chance we too could hit the tool lottery one day! :-)

Exactly right.

I'm always happy for the person that scores a dream of a deal, but I confess to sometimes feeling a little jealous it wasn't me. It seems I'm always a bridesmaid and never a bride when it comes to tool score gloats.
Oh well, every dog has his day....

[Bill Bukovec]

I planned to go to the Greensboro sale but I promised to get new countertops installed at our house. I probably would have spent too much money on a tool I didn't use.

If any of you live out in Michigan, Thursday through Sunday this looks like the place to be
