    Wink It's been a good 7 days

    Sometimes it's good to give a praise report.



    On CL Free section I picked up 4 sheets of 16 gauge non magnetic stainless steel. Using what I learned on this site I sold it on CL instead of scraping it. The yard would have given me $94, I sold it for $150 ... not bad for free. I also Got a radial arm saw free and sold it for $95. To clean out the garage for future scrap runs I had a tag sale and made $330 in cloths and junk. I think I love CL free. You have to be fast. I also have gotten Free split wood for my fire pit, about 100 golf clubs (part of my tag sale), and 12 matching chairs for this years thanksgiving feast around my free dining room table. It's been a good week

    I've never been fast enough for CL free. You must have a big free table to fit 12 free chairs!

    Only stuff i find worth while are tvs. Saw a set of alum rims for free but wasnt able to get to em. Everything else isnt scrap or its gone in minutes. That or the people dont put a phone numbers up!
    If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...
