    I got lucky today, right place right time.

    The wife and I usually go out on Sunday mornings early either shopping or whatever….. We frequent a local flea market nealy every weekend because they get new/fresh things in. "TODAY" we were there when they opened and look what I found:drool::eek:o_O, and look at the price….. and the girl at the counter took off $2.00
    because she said it had been sitting for awhile, "IT WASN"T THERE LAST WEEKEND", I would have found it! ;) It has never been on a sawo_O… Oh, it's a 20"r

    Dave, you seem very excited! Looks like a score the way you described things. Better than finding a $20 bill on the ground... :)

    Well, when you have crappy luck, as I do most of the time…. Getting something for cheap that you can use and need is like finding gold to me. I don't usually get things for myself, It's all about the Family. :)

    Wow, great score Dave, that 20" bar is probably close to $50 on average!

    You can't beat that with a stick Dave. I just bought a 20" for my Husqvarna for 45.00

    More. That's an ES bar. The E bars sell for $50.

    What a score!

    This was pure luck! That'll never happen again, this place cleans out garages, estates, abandoned houses, etc… It's a hit or miss but I've gotten a lot of neat stuff there. :cool:

    Dave, you hit a great score there. Sometimes a little treasure has to come your way. I usually have that same luck as you do. Makes getting a good deal that much better when it happens.
