Estate sale bootie

« on: April 15, 2012, 07:41:35 AM »
I got up early and went to an estate sale.  found a charger and this sander.  Got home and plugged in the sander and it blew my house breaker.  Guess I should check things before I spend 5 bucks.  I'm afraid to plug in the charger.  I also waited in line to buy chainsaw for 12 bucks.  It was $120 bucks when I got to register.   I am the savy shopper.  SC

I try to stick to garage sales, estate sales seem pretty high most of the time

I love estate sales! They are usually high, but they rarely sell the little hand tools and odd things. I pick up chisels and screwdrivers all the time because they are $.25 or so. Sorry about the sander...
