Old School Gloat

While roaming Phoenix Park and Swap last year I stumbled upon some old Wilton 9 inch vises salvaged from a HS woodshop nasty looking (lots of rust and glue) but in fine working order. Marked 30.00 per. There were



  1. Never being afraid to ask, I say would you take 100.00 for all five. He says 125.00. I say all I have is 100.00. He says buy 4. I say thanks anyway and start to walk away. He says sold. I keep two and give the other 3 away for presents.

I think this is a small gloat, and at the very least great presents.

It looks like the Gulf of Mexico isn't the only low pressure area today. The wreck is setting new records.

Obligatory "You Suck" ! (and so do three lucky present recipients!) Tom

My dad referred to ppl like you as "horse traders" and bragged that he was one as well. His skills at "jewing", as he called it, didn't rub off on me much though. Good buy!

Are you saying you live in Arizona and you got all that wood for $600? Or is Phoenix Park & Swap somewhere else (like the northeast where wood really exists)?

If you're in AZ, you have no idea how much you suck.

Yep I'm in Az. I won't tell you what picked up a new never used Incra 17inch ls and woodpecker table setup for. But it sucked Ed

Aaaaargh! [running away with my hands over my ears]. :-)

Congrats, those gloats are huge.
