Best deals you've had

[572bigblock]

Tell us about the best deal you've had pass through your fingertips, or the best deal you've scored so far. I'll start:

There was an estate auction a few months ago where the items werent bringing squat. I decided not to go, but someone that went said their were four corn shellers for sale with small engines mounted on them. One was an old briggs and the other engines were 5.5 briggs or honda engines. These engines had snowmobile clutches mounted on them. Well, I guess they were selling them individually and one guy through a bid out to buy all four for 100 bucks. Anyway, he took all four machines home for $25 a peice, clutches and all. I hit myself in the head for not going.

Tell us about your buying/selling deals.

I got a damaged '07 GS500f motorbike with 9,500km's for $1035.
The engine and parts to run it alone are worth at least $1500, and there are more than $1000 in other parts in the bike.

I thought it was a steal!
