Mike,

Was at a sale across the street last fall and got a bandsaw like yours AND a small (10" bed) lathe for $150! Could not believe it as you can make so much with both of those.

Just helping a friend move out of his storage yard 3 weeks ago and picked up a 1972 Jag XJ for $150. Engine had a fire but its saveable with some work. If not will part it out but got a hell of a deal there.

Few years ago a guy in our Dallas PCA put a note up that he was having a sale at his house. I went there and was a very interesting story. 5000 sq foot house and the guy was selling everything inside. Seems that he was moving from this large house to a 40 foot sailboat (going to sail around the world while his kids were young enough to enjoy it) and everything that did not work with a boat was not needed.

We walked into his garage and there was a very nice workbench, compressor and a whole wall full of air tools. Parts washer, anvil and so on. Racks of nuts and bolts, all metric as he had a 911 and 356. He threw in a large box of old 356 parts and a "C" model baggage rack. I sold the baggage rack 4 months ago on Ebay for $240 and still have more to sell when I get time. Got to haggling with him and bought the whole garage for $400 so my total cost right now for everything is $160!

You just have to keep your eyes open...
