Weekend Bargains

[Tractor Seabee]

Went to the Auction, Garage Sales, and Craig's List this last weekend. Picked up:

$155- MC Tank size O/A kit (virtually new) with a Victor J series clone torch. The tanks alone new cost $200 plus $55 worth of gas in them, plus hidden in the carry unit was $200 worth of silver solders. I will keep the SS for myself.

$35- 230A AC Century (now part of Lincoln) buzz box minus leads. Picked up for
$30- 50' of 00 cable at a another sale which will work for it.

$35- Another 230A AC Craftsman Buzz box, complete w/leads and it works.

I have gotten on a good start on my new enterprise of buying and selling used and vintage welding equipment. Earlier this summer I picked up $1000 worth of tanks and torches for $400.

My mantra is to only buy if I can turn 100% or more profit on the purchase and still give buyers a bargain.

Felow TBNers, especially from here in the PACNW, I am open for business, send by personal what you are looking for.

It's called customer service.

Set up a dealer network. Maybe drones too.

Set up a dealer network.

I am too old for that, this is all under the table stuff. I have had my share of legal businesses. Will advertise on Craig's List, bulletin boards, newspaper adds, and word of mouth.

Good for you, Ron... keep on the hunt! How's your honey do's and landscaping going?

Finished up the master bath re-build, came out real nice, used high end stuff. Helen loves it. Back on the outside work. Welding up an angle iron frame for a 6' wide gate at the North end. Brings it out to the front of the garage. A short 1/2" irrigation line goes in this area. Concrete walk way in the plan their also. Gate done back to landscape and irrigation in the rear of the place. That includes electrical service to the shed in the back plus a 70A panel for outside electrical future plans.

I will be working on stuff the day I die probably.

How is your rear remotes coming? Do you need any thing in the O/A welding scenario?

Wow... 70amp exterior sub panel! More than a hot tub needs so you must have some grand plans?

Rear Remotes still on back burner. :ashamed: In Detroit still trying to put food on the table for after when I retire. :laughing:
