Craigslist Score!!! 1 Year, 1 Month ago

I just love Craigslist and I could go on and on about all the great stuff I have picked up for a song over the years but I am particularly excited about yesterdays score. Got an Air Operated Handy lift table with the table extensions and an upgraded wheel chock for $400.00 bucks. WoooHooo!!!! I was just fixing to go to Harbor Freight and grab one of theirs and I just happened to check Craigslist one final time before I walked out the door and this lift had just been posted about 10 minutes before. Guy was only 10 minutes away from me and he said he had gotten about twenty calls on it in the time it took me to drive there. He had about ten more calls while I was there so I believe him. It has been used and could use a paint job (not that I care about that) but the parts that matter are in great shape. Got some new pipes for Mama's roadie delivered today so it is in use already.
