Got a great deal!

Post something that you picked up that was a great deal.

Here was our lastest. A 16 x 22 party tent, top and sides, no poles. Nice thick canvas. Paid $10 at an Estate sale.

Figure a new boat cover and a new top for my boat shelter.

Family friends gave me a little 14' day sailer for the cost of the fuel to tow it home. Includes the trailer too. 70 year-old wooden boat....what could possibly go wrong....

That is an awesome wooden boat, scoutabout! GREAT score!

Scoutabout can borrow some canvas from 64osby to cover that gem. Two good scores! :thumb::thumb:

That's a beautiful boat. I'm sure Osby's cover's will be beautiful too

Well....I am building a 14'x14' Lionel layout in the basement. Needed a new power supply for the trains so purchased a used MRC Pure Power Dual. Each side puts out about 135W. Spent about $200 to get it to my door and had to crack it open to repair the direction button for the right side. Works like new after the repair.

New goes for around $400 IF you can find them as they aren't made any longer.

Stopped at the Habitat for Humanity ReStore on the way home from work on a whim a few months ago. Found a Brunswick Centennial billiards chair. About $700-$800 new. I'd always wanted one, but couldn't stomach the price. Was marked @ $25, and I got 20% off for spending over $20. Wish I could find another for that price.

Looks great in the pool room!
