Went to a poorly-organized (make your own pile and the guy will shoot you a price) moving/estate sale and did OK.
Hit the carport right away and grabbed a like new No. 18 C-man bevel gauge, an old 1/4" Oxwall rat set complete with their little yellow handled flex driver, a Bonney T-35 3/8" ratchet in fine shape, a nice little S-K Tools 3 x 15 green box like new, and (drumroll, please) Snap-on socket set in 9/32. It has the box with embossed name (might have been green at one time) the funny little M-70 ratchet, the long and short extension, the T-spinner with swivel grip, and 8 sockets (including screwdriver bit). No sliding T or ignition handle. All pieces are still shiny new. Coded 35-36-37.
Hoping I had enough cash, I took my pile to the honcho. He said it looked like a $5 pile, and I agreed.

<shaking head> I never see deals like that, or I am always too late..... Great buy! I 'll let others comment on the sounds of whooshing air in your general vicinity. :grin:

I paid my money and went to the front porch and sat and looked. Guy came up and used the term Holy Grail.
I found one of the oooooold black 9/32 boxes once. Not embossed. Decal on the inside. $2 on second day of estate sale.
You just never know.
