Andrew AKA "The Deal Master"

Wow, you got some amazing deals in there.

I really need to start going to some garage sales near me but they're always so early. :(

yeah, we were out and about around 7am and finished up around noon.

I miss those garage sales, from when I used to live in the States. :?

Wow I'm not the only under 25yr Male that loves garage sales.

j/k

Neat finds though.

All that totals $84!

Cool stuff. Will you please have a progress thread on the bike? That would be most appreciated.

I sure can. I wish I would have taken more pics though. I seriously took that thing apart in 10 minutes

I want that printer. Holy crap
