Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

I just got one for a Bolens tractor for under $1 on Ebay. It's 40 minutes from work, so I'll have more invested in the gas to fetch it, than the cost, but won't have to pay shipping. It's a good day

Marty,

You could fall into a cesspool and come out smelling like a bouquet of roses.

That's awsome.  You can actually see yourself.  I wish I'd run into those kinds of deals and get some dough out of it.  NJ seems to me like a state that has all kinds of stuff thrown out and people come get it and fix it up.  Tell how much you end up getting for it. 

Marty, you freak me out.

Good on you buddy!

I hope ya gave the guy somethin'.  Sh1t mail him an anonymous check for a hundo if he wouldnt take it.Karma baby!

So, is that why they call it Freehold?

I haven't had any opertunity to scrounge in all the parts of this country, but NJ sure seems like it has a lot of folks with more money than common sense. It was over 25 years ago when my brother was getting married, and didn't have any money to spare, as he was only 20 and had bought a house and a car. He and I went out during the various local town and township "clean-up" days and basically furnished his entire house, except for the new bed he got as a wedding gift. The northwest corner of the state, specifically near Oldwick and Bedminster is were the Forbes's and Onassis and Rockafeller famiies like to live, and they tend throw out much better stuff than most of the rest of us own. My brother was a painter back then and painted the interior of a 1.3 MILLION dollar barn.... that's in 1970s dollars! They spent over $12,000 on the front door of this barn.... It's a wonderful place to trash hunt.

WOW    I wish stuff popped up like that around here. 

Here's a cool toy........

Or this would be pretty cool too..........
