    Well, all my worrying was for nothing. The event itself went very well. I had a great setup. My booth looked good. No mishaps of any kind. I'm very pleased with how it ran. Unfortunately, I'm a bit disappointed with the turnout. I got enough stuff that it was worth holding, but but the turnout was really small. Maybe 15 or 20 people each day. It's not the end of the world though. It was a good practice run for me for if/when i hold another one. I will put up a more detailed post in the next few days with pics and stats when I have time to pull out the computer since that's easier than using my phone.

    I had a quick minute on break at work to add to how I did.

    Here's how I was set up.

    This was the first drop of the day. Not too horrible.


    Best drop of the day though, was a bunch of still working ryobi plus one tools. Those I'm keeping for sure. All tested and working. I got:
    Circular saw
    Sawzall
    Drill
    Flashlight
    Chainsaw
    A solid 3-400 in working tools.

    I got roughly 15 tvs ranging in size and type, 6 or so laptops, about 15 or 20 desktops. All but one or two were complete. $$$! And a whole bunch of misc electronics and wiring to go along with them. So even though there wasn't a huge turnout, I still had a good time and made a decent buck.
