Bighead, I'm sure you've heard of/seen one of the shows on TV about storage unit auctions? Seems like that could be a next step in your purchase and resell market.


who pays $40 a box (in some cases) for 10 shots of Polaroid film and why?

All Polaroid film and cameras are discontinued as of a few years ago (thank digital camera technology).


what is cb radio we dont get it?

Yep I drive a fork lift 40 hours a week for a grocery warehouse.

Cool. I use to drive a forlift at a wine farm I worked at years ago. I had to load my own wine onto the truck and do the deliveries in Cape Town myself. Once you get the hang of the rear wheels doing the turning you are good.

I also never had any accidents which I was glad about. Dropping a pallet full of Cabernet Sauvignon can get a bit costly. :D

This may go for more than I thought. All the parts and bits I have for this could send it thru the roof. I see just the drill and one tip with a pedal go for $150. Now amagine how much it would cost to buy all the extras I have. Should be interesting. I think I paid $55 for this lot. I had no clue what it was used for. I just knew it was a money maker.

I have said above that items you have no clue what they are used for are hot. Well this is the perfect example. I knew it was a drill. But did not know it was for for jewerly carving.

Probably increasing his max bid.
Nice work bighead!
Today I went to a 'flea market'.
It was rubbish and I saw nothing of interest :( there were like 6 stalls.
I was walking around looking for aluminium pans, and vintage stuff :) yay.

Good luck man hopefully you strike gold.

What I'm gonna try to do is waste my weekend morning going to garage sales. There are SO MANY here and I'm sure I'll find some treasure.

Hey bighead, I pulled these out of an old shed down at the farm(dont want to sell these). For future purposes, are old plates worth anything?

Foredom units are also used in tool and die and the mold making trade for fine finishing work. Not used as much as they used to due to EDM technology getting better all the time.
Electrical Discharge Machining

Think high speed arc burning.
