YOUR LOCAL BARGAQIN PAPERS

[Jack-of-all-trades - JOAT]

I get the impression a fair number of you don't check your local bargain papers. I got one tonight, and have been going thru it. This is for centra/east North Carolina. It lists, among other things:

1 WOOD LATHES - 1 Delta 1/4hp, 48" long with hand tools, and sander attachment $200; 1 Dunlap 36" long $40 - [phone]...SVKR Greenville

I have no idea what the SVKR means.

12" table mounted band saw - w/wood table, $50.00 [phone] New Bern

Craftsman 9" table saw, on stand w/casters, cast iron table & ext, belt drive, miter gauge & rip fence, 6 blades, works good, $125.00 (252)

745-4049 Bayboro

12" wide thickness planer for wood, with roll around table, $100.00 (2l52) 636-1764 New Bern

If I had $100 to spare, I'd be checking this myself. Unfortuately, had to get a set of tires for my truck.

Heavy duty 6x12 utility trailer, 5" channel frame, 3" crossmembers every

16", 2X8 flooring, lights, removable sides, firm $100.00 [phone]

These are from just one bargain paper. There are any number of bragain papers in the local area, and probaly most people only post in one at a time. This particular one offers free posting for up to 4 ads per week, for items selling for $1500 or less. A lot of the other local baragin papers have similar free posting deals.

Priceless.

And what in the world is a 'bargain paper'? From the description I see here, the closest thing I know about is what the Credit Union puts out once a month. Only CU members can list items and we are limited to two 25 word ads each month. Lots of cars, cats, dogs, and furniture.

When I was looking for a radial arm saw, I did a Google search using the terms "Radial arm" and "Connecticut." That brought me a link to the "Bargain News" on-line

There I found a RAS for $75. I would have considered that a gloat except that it was a Craftsman.

Well, here in the Yukon, classified ads in the two local papers are free for non-commercial ads. I've bought all my stationary power tools through the classifieds (2 TS, sold one, planer, jointer, bandsaw), except for the DP and chop saw. I've also bought some hand tools, but no small power tools.

People will often buy the papers just for the ads.

My favorite ad in a bargain magazine was:

Trailer and wench, $200, firm. call xxx-xxxx

Bubba probably figured it was easier and cheaper just to get new ones of both rather than trying to move them. :-)

People? You mean there's more than one of you nuts enough to live in the Yukon? :)

30,000 or so of us nuts. And nuts is correct: I just woke up to an inch of snow on the ground and it's still coming down. Summer's over a couple of days early. But we nuts are outnumbered by bears (30,000+), moose (70,000+), caribou (hundreds of thousands), not to speak of smaller numbers of coyotes, wolves, thin-horn sheep, mountain goats, elk and deer. No snakes or skunks. Which suits me just fine. :)

Around these parts it's referred to as the "Penny Savers." Want Ads for used merchandise - lots of old couches, refridgerators, sofas, and the occaisional gem. Looks like JOAT gets more than his fair share of gems. I'd be tempted to drive down there for the planer if not for Isabelle.

30,000 nuts in the entire province? I'm not sure how distorted this Mercator projection is, but that looks like a pretty big chunk of real estate.

Anyway, Pennsylvania is distastefully far north for me, so I guess I'll take the snakes and skunks. :)

And the foul haze that obscures the view of my beloved mountains. :(

LOL, I hate those kind of posts. I searched the thing for several minutes trying to find out what they had to say.
