The Official Craigslist Score Thread!

[Lis2323]

I don't know what the RB auctions are like down there, but up here they tend to draw in a lot of mysterious internet bids (even before all the bidding was done online) that put the prices up to the max, and they like to add in extra charges for both the buyer and seller whenever they can. Read the fine print carefully.

$1.5 Billion a year in sales.

Prob the number one financier of used heavy equipment in the world.

When I sold my business all the trucks and heavy equipment were assessed, financed, and sold to the new owners by RB. NON auction transaction.

I started with one of those, now it holds all the buffing attachments for the Dremel .



My $0.02 in case you were wondering:

They're fine in naturally humid climates - in the high 60's on average. In dry climates like here it's impossible to keep them in a decent range. The size is a challenge as well - the smaller the container area, the more drastic the fluctuations when cigars are added or removed.
Over the decades I have gradually become more of a fancy man ! The big hugger I have now with the amount of wood in it, the only issue is humidity levels top to bottom. Easily accommodated with a weekly rotation. Some people use the one like yours for dry boxing - to bring "wet" cigars down to a more enjoyable level. I just use an empty cigar box for some of mine - but I'm still experimenting with that.

The transaction fee is 10% here. I'm an auction sniper - I wait until towards the end to see how things are going. If it's still under my self-imposed limit then I'll throw in. RB uses the "add time to give others a chance" method, which bugs me a bunch. A timed auction should be just that. Call it something else if the deadline is a moving target.

For those that may be interested there is a tool auction in south east Ga online Feb 15 ending. 2 nice Wilton bench vices in the bunch.

I don't smoke. I can resell and the profit will more than pay for my recent indulgence....

If you season it, you could probably make double.

Wipe the inside down with distilled water and put a sponge in it on a plate also soaked with distilled water. Get that meter up to 70% or so and when you list it note that is seasoned and ready to fill.

My old man grumpiness gets annoyed at endless "how do I season my shiny new humidor" on my chat groups. It ain't rocket science and Google has a bazillion sites to tell people how to do it. Somebody has to see the value in being able to score a "ready to go" box.

Is that like the people asking which welder to buy?

Exactly!!!

The other biggie: "Do I take the cellophane off my cigars or leave it on..." (FYI - cellophane is breathable so cigars age just fine in them - and it keeps the wrapper from getting beat up.)

Well apparently we do have seasoned welders on this site….

Whew!... For a minute there I thought you were talking about the hat...

[Shootr]

I swear, Canada is like bizarro world...

You get a crapload of oilcans for dirt cheap, and people buy cigar boxes for twice the cost of new ones...

This is what I'm up against down here:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...8342170348442/

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...2085016035910/

And this is what boxes like yours go for:

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...2578054465047/

And new ones...

https://www.cigarsinternational.com/...idors/1800034/

I need people like your buyer to move down here and buy some of my crap!

[Lis2323]

Maybe easier for me to move south with my oil cans.

Yeah but you mustn't forget mine was offered initially for only $12 usd

The secret is creative ads.

We are our own alternate universe. Try buying a used DC welder... or even a 500 lb AC 180 amp buzz box for $250 that might not have leads...

https://www.kijiji.ca/v-buy-sell-oth...4561?undefined

The good news is that if it doesn't work, it's probably old enough to be full of copper...

...or a 1/4" steel welding table for $1,000....

Man, Craigslist around here is crap.

[Oldiron2]

Well,
I considered starting a new thread about "Why I Need Forty Acres"....

[N2 Welding]

I would be more than happy with 10 acres. 40 would be awesome if wooded with firewood and construction wood species.

Steam punk art... that should be worth more than a new compressor...

I sold my Forney 140MP Welder today for $340. I wasn't using it since my original is working well again.

So guess who's getting a plasma cutter - finally. Yay me!

Did that once, 450 LB Hobart AC hog. Dismantled it, I was disappointed how little copper ribbon was in it. Probably 350 LBS of iron plates making up the transformer body.
