INSANE SCORE at estate sale!!!

So, my wife and I hit up a lot of garage sales, flea markets, and such almost every weekend. I was drawn to an estate sale on Saturday from the ad which, among many other items, had listed "tools, garage equipment, old race cars and parts" so naturally, we were among the first folks there. I made an offer on the entire lot a second after seeing it, and for a total of $1200, I think I hit the mother lode!

 

Holy sh*t....

 

April fools, or wow thats a good deal.

 

Wow!

 

I hope you were missing a 0 on that offer. If not, great job taking advantage of the Widow/family.

Nice score, but thats just wrong.

(and seconds after posting...noticed the date.........)

 

c'mon man.........your shittin us, right?

 

Not at all, that's a genuine 700 cubic inch Henway right there!!!

 

Did that include the garage itself?

Nice score!

 

Way cool.

 

Wow!! what a great find!!! and on April fools day too!! How lucky is THAT!!

 

I hoping this is April Fools>>>>>If Not>>>I think I'm gonna be sick
If its real...you are the man!

 

What's that gaping hole in the back of the Willys' body?

 

Great deal!

 

It is April you fools! lololol

There's one born every minute....

 

those upright propain heaters are cool

Ha I almost fell for it then I remembered what day it is...

 

Parachute mount.

 

Did Elvis and Liberace take the day off to help you hit the garage sales?

 

I think you really lucked out if the story is real.

I will make a long story short and tell you about what a friend of fell into.

He runs a UHaul dealer ship and a guy walks in to get a truck and a car dolly.

He really helped out this guy the best he could and he saved the guy a lot of money and the guy asks him if he would like to purchase his mothers double wide mobile home.

He explains that he is taking her back up north to live with him and his wife.

My friend asks him how much he wants and his answer was $862.00 dollars.

My friend asks me if I would take a fast 10 minute ride over with him to look at it.

In my mind I was picturing what it might look like for $862.00 dollars.

The home was in great condition being she was the original owner and had lived there by herself for 15 years. I had a remodeled kitchen, bathrooms, new windows, carpets and was fully furnished and they even left the plates and forks and the frig. full of food.

When we looked in the shed there was a lawnmower, tools and all kinds of lawn furniture all in great condition.

Here in Florida it is very common when a love one dies that the family up north just wants to get rid of everything including the cars and trucks.

My friend rented the home out and after finding a nice tenant agreed to sell the home to them for $10,000 dollars.

I guess somedays you just get lucky.

Happy April Fools!

 

I figured the Henway comment would've given it away

 

I was getting ready to swear at someone

 

Wow, i believe you! Lol.

 

the henway comment DID give it away,whats the story on the willys???

 

I wouldn't know a henway from a hen house. What is it?

 

I think they weigh about 1or 2lbs

 

Ah, an imaginary thing.

 

Aw, big deal. Who wants a willys with a roof thats held on with duct tape...

 

Thats messed up! Stop playing with my emotions.....
