Holy God! How do you get all this stuff? Have you dug up a seam of it and are slowly mining it out of a hillside somewhere? I was going round the boot sale today and all I found was:
- 20 yr old Black and decker 1200w electric thing, 12"; geezer selling it reckoned it was little used since the motor was so clean, that's to say he'd had the compressed air up it. Wanted £26 for it, meh, stroll on son
- Poulan Wild Thing (first time I've seen one about these parts. looks like a child's toy). £85 used and very grubby, not very interested and the colour gave me a headache
- Interesting textron-era Homelite tophandle saw, very tempted but matey wanted £45 for it. I don't want a tophandle that much as I only really do firewood. I'll go back next week and offer him £30 again if it's still there.
Things are getting VERY tight round here, everyone's burning their furniture instead of using gas or electricity and it's driving up the price of saws and wood. I'll continue the scrounge-a-thon and probably abandon buying in saws at all until the spring when they'll be less appealing to the modern idiot. That aside, sellers everywhere are pitching prices high and no bugger's giving an inch...
