We return to FAST6191 once again buys tools from people with no idea about what they are selling, or not caring which is just as good.
£5 each for the boxes (one of which I would have paid more than £5 for the contents alone) and £5 for the impact set and the baby plane which was in need of a restoration (though I have been looking for one for a while). 50p for the large square.
Best one of the day was the speed handle you can barely see underneath it all. Expected it to be junk but turns out it was a nice snapoff one. https://store.snapon.com/Speeders-chrome-Speeder-17-27-32--P631419.aspx is a worse one, 50p I paid for it.
Not pictured is a bunch of nice legacy nails, screws and whatever else which I can use in restoring things. Also a nice switch mode supply which reckons it can deliver 6A @ 5V so guess who is building a bitching USB charge bank at some unspecified point in the (hopefully) near future.
Felt like one of those strongman competitions dragging it back up the hill but I don't mind.
Earlier in the week I went into a old furniture shop (they call it a pop up shop). Most things were priced like you see on those picker salvage auction shops (I am more used to scrap yard, car boot and skip prices) or were old things with lamps stuck in but they had a nice line in books. Got some wonderful 40s and 50s cook books/home encyclopedias which I planned to keep, however my mum decided they were better off in her collection (fair enough as for all the cook books I have access to I still use the internet for most things).
Also all my engineering books these last however long have had a slight gear focus for a project I am doing, on the shelf was a nice 60s manual on the concept for £4, also I actually purchased a new book which you can see on the right there.
And some games, well a game at least, for the first time in a while; most times I go there now it is overpriced PS3 and 360 games or wrestling and sports for everything from the PS1 up. Wandered up to a stall and saw some DS games, among the usual imagine ben 10 horses jewel quest x bakugan titles was warioware diy. Usually worth having an ask in these situations so I did
£2 she wanted, £2 she got. Not an amazing deal but clean with box and manuals works for me.
Never actually played it before either.
