Saturday browsing on Craigslist

[Russell E Johnson]

What a way to spend the day, or at lease all of it while it was raining---AGAIN ugh!. Everything was way over-priced and either near new or ready to have the Jimco treatment done to it. There was a Prowler, 198- something and all but totally gutted inside. They still wanted $3500 for it. I did find half a dozen or so I sent to Pat but they were not the best. Looks like people are trying to clean out the junk to all the newbies who have spring fever, money, an itch, and no sense of reality. But the hunt was not totally unsuccessful. I managed to locate 5 tool boxes to go on my pickup. I know, a wee-bit of over-kill but hey I can sell 2 of them and maybe regroup most of my $200. That's right, 5 of them cross body, floor, and side mount puppies for just $200. Keep the best cross body use the 2 side-mounts and have one floor type and 1 cross body to see. With a little bit of luck I may regroup all of the $200 and only be out about $40 in gas money.Those jobber's boxes are expensive and people seem to want them. So fingers crossed. LOL

I will be on the road at 7 tomorrow morning to retrieve my almost ill-gotten and should be home by noon. Just about the time everyone else is usually waking up.

Take care my com-padres, keep the greasy side down and always remember "You can tell a happy biker by how many bugs are in their teeth."  We really need to come up with such a saying for RVers. LOL

You can tell a happy camper when the trailers rocking and the winds not blowing. Well maybe not huh !

[Russell E Johnson]

LOL, that could be.

Update. Did not get the tool boxes. First come first serve won out. At least it happened before I made the trip for nothing. NEXT!

Well dang!

That's always disappointing, A wise man say's "the time to buy it, is when you see it". But you are in good company Russ. I'm the worlds worst when it comes to searching out things that slip through my fingers because I waited or him haled around trying to decide if I wanted to pay the price or bid to low when I knew it was worth the money. Good luck on your next I gotta have it adventure.

I got my eye on 1 side mount box right now. Going to meet the gentleman for lunch tomorrow. I figured if I bribed him with lunch he might just hang on to it for me. LOL

[Rich Thomas]

Good plan Russ, make sure he eats turkey he'll get sleepy and you can talk him down.

[Russell E Johnson]

Now that is a good idea. I was going to pull a Lakota and spring for the supersized happy meal but your idea is better. LOL.
