So what did you buy today

[Bill G]

I think it auto fills that sometimes. I used letgo and it would say shipping available. Offer up is okay if it’s local and you can have a normal conversation with the seller on there.

Hell I can hardly ever get a normal conversation from an ad on FB or CL...................even when I am giving things away.

It’s a train wreck anymore

I agree. All I ever get for replies on FB is ..... "Is it still available". I say yes .......then crickets

14 minutes and my offer expires, maybe I don’t understand the scam…

It didn't fit in the photo yesterday maybe someone knows what these two pins are for, they have different numbers in order at both ends. Bicycle wrench with spark plug and brake spring pliers

They could be clock pivot polishing rests. But I don't know why they would have those brass bits in the middle.

Brass may be the part that secures the entire pin in the tailstock holder, I guess

Whatever they are, they look cool! And useful if you know what they go to (or how to use them)...I don't

Nailed it. They are polishing rests.

So brass is used to set the appropriate thickness, it certainly has the same number of grooves as numbers at the end. Sometimes I find such mysterious things there, although I don't know what they are for guy he has several videos of this device there and i don't want to know how much everything he shows in his videos costs I will put it an announcement , maybe someone is missing a complete set. I won't hit it with a hammer for now

Wouldn't that be a motor-cycle, but not a motorcycle?

How about the electric jobbies.? I saw A guy going up Elmore last week on one which is the wall to wall 4-6 lane retail nightmare street in the big city.

As we all know there are lots of scam sites out there. I am betting that is one of them..

For those that not like Bill G stories stop reading now......

Back in late summer 2023 one of my sons texted me a link to a site he found on FB. The site claimed to be Home Depot selling some off-brand 6.5 HP rear tine garden tillers for a bit over $200. He wanted to know if I thought it was legit. I took a look and it said "what the hell give it a try but use a credit card!!". The site allowed store pickup or "free home delivery". Now neither he nor I live in an area where ole UPS will be delivering a tiller. He bought one and selected store pickup. I thought what the hell I will order one for free shipping and see what happens. I really thought about ordering two but if it went the way I thought it might go I did not want that big of fight with my CC company. We both placed our orders. About a week or 10 days later he got notification his tiller was ready for pickup at the Home Depot store and he drove upriver and picked it up. I waited awhile and called on mine that was supposed to be delivered. All I got was excuses. Every time I called the representative said to just wait as they were waiting for the warehouse to supply more. They told me I had to wait and refused to refund my payment. It was obvious they had over-sold their supply. I kept after them. After probably 8 weeks I finally got a representative that admitted the company screwed up. She still said they could not refund my money but asked if I wanted a different model. I said yes, She sent me a link to a front tine tiller and I said HELL NO! She put me on hold a while and came back and said how about this one, She sent me another link. I opened it and said HELL YEAH. It was a Troy-Bilt Bronco rear tine. The current price was $1070 with the communist tax. I said ship it out. For whatever reason she also refunded my credit card $20 and my total final charge was $180. About a week later I got a call from a trucking company wanting to know if I would be home the next day. I said yes but what type of truck were they bringing. The dispatcher said a 53ft van trailer, I told her to have the driver call me when he was about 30 minutes out and I would meet him up the road to get him as there was no way he was coming down here with a 53ft. He called me and I went out and met him...........

This is what I got for $180......
