I did collect 40-50 small ones when I couldn`t find large scale of something I really wanted. Most Ford trucks were always real hard to find around here but there were lots of 53 and 56 ones.

 

I have one stock 56 1/18 scale but it's not detailed correct, the dash is a 53...lol

time to say good night...ttyl

 

This is getting to be a long auction, probably be watching it for another 10minutes, the last item on my list is a bench vice.

 

This was a $87 night at the opera and I didn't even need to leave the house, got a 64 Mustang convertible in red 1/24 scale and a 37 chev coupe.

I`ve found that most small scale models aren`t highly detailed, some are really inexpensive tho.
Good night John.
I`d like to find a non swivel bench vice, most now are the swivel type.
$87 for a 1/24 scale 64 Mustang convertible and a 37 coupe is pretty fair. I asked an auction house about selling some of my die casts and they weren`t interested in trying.

 

Got a lot more for that 87 than the cars, got a swivel vice with the round stock jaw tool included also and a few other things. I've been looking for a swivel vice as the 2 that I have are solid mounts and different sizes.

 

Wow, that was an excellent deal then. I hate my Chinese swivel vice, way too hard to lock it down so it doesn`t swivel and I don`t need it to swivel.

 

This was a weird auction, some nice things and some complete crap. Its been the better part of 50 years since I've seen. 10c bids but there were 3 tonight. She's changing her auction night to Saturday so that should make it even worse for her as her auction house can't compete with the pro auctions, makes things cheaper for me for awhile.

 

I can`t even imagine a 10 cent bid these days!
Not good planning on her part but great for you.

 

Apparently its really snowing hard on the east side of Calgary, could be as much as 20cm, in my area of east Calgary we only got 1cm and its not snowing now, it might just make it your way. Can't see Carol having a good Saturday auction, but I will.

I've got a friend that's retiring and has mentioned that I should find a way to take over his 700 sq ft shop.

 

No sign of that yet but it could happen, we can certainly use the snow.
That would be a nice shop if it`s affordable. What would you use it for?

 

It's his electronics repair store on the main drag, he knows that I'm starting up this Ebay thing and has given me the electronics that customers rejected to have fixed. These pieces are still on value but need to be broken down and marketed. He also knows that I'm going back to this Momentum organization for a business grant program and that might put me in contact with someone who wants to do electronic repair but can't afford a full shop. It's an availability offer for me to consider.

 

Happy Friday Mornin'all. Have a great day guy's.
