It can pay to keep your eyes open and (yes) perhaps fall into some luck.
I stumbled onto a full sized Snapon roller. Has two side cabinets hanging on it. Guy said he was fed up dealing with the public (think he was an auto repair guy given the tools he included)
I got:
1. All three (the full) cabinets, all Snapon
2. Full set of Snapon metric wrenches
3. Full set of Snapon SAE wrenches
4. Enough sockets to make a full 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" set, mix of Snapon & Craftsman
5. Air compressor (working)
6. Working generator though, a small one
7. Handful of diagnostic tools (auto A/C, computer reader machine, relay tester...)
8. Full set of Craftsman line wrenches, some S&W wrenches, some MAC wrenches
That's not all of it but it's the quickies that I can think of....
ALL for $1,500 BUT, I had to travel about 4 hours to get it. As it happened, my brother in law was in town. Was heading to Asheville, NC to visit his son, maybe 2-hours.... so he said he'd be happy to drive the next 2-hours to pick it all up for me.
it was like my lottery day.
