Been bidding and sometimes winning a few auctions on
shopgoodwill.com
This can be a little like gambling because you might end up with junk- but
first won some great vintage stereo equipment- Marantz, Yamaha also speakers (Infinity)
and recently tools
this (grab bag) of tools came up for bid:
The shipping is where they get a fair amount of$$ but - these were described as untested due to no charger
so I won the auction for a high bid of $38 and about $24 in Fed Ex shipping for a total of $62
This is what I did get for the money
19.2 volt Craftsman tools that looked to be almost new
1- 1/2 drill driver - same as the one i already had
2- 5 1/2 circular saw with good blade
3- reciprocating saw with blade
4- Fluorescent light
5- jitterbug sander with 3 new 120 grit hook/ loop style sand paper
6- 2 19.2 volt batteries- were completely discharged
7- Craftsman tool bag
8- Skill 18 volt drill driver, 2 batteries and charger
The skill batteries are tired but the drill works fine
All of the Craftsman tools worked like new. I did have to put a small dc jump start charge on the Craftsman batteries to get them to be recognized by my craftsman ni-cad chargers.
Sometimes these auctions are duds , overpriced or local pick up only- and have seen some complaints on a couple of searches i did- but this one I couldn't be happier
They also have listings for science /education and other stuff
so- Anyone else bid on goodwills auctions- and if so, how did you do?
