Bruce, please tell me that those are typos and there should be an extra zero before where the decimal point is supposed to be ..... you know, $350 and $300, not $35 and $30.
Nope Daniel, it's just as I said...lol, I would have handed him $150 without batting an eye.

WOW!

Super Nice!!!

Well done Bruce!

Did you acquire the drill press at the show?
Yes , I did.

Cool.  A huge bonus to exhibiting at the show!

I will bet you got excited when you stumbled upon it!!!
You bet I got excited Charlie , when I set up early for my show I'm usually there when the vendors are setting out their wares , I spotted this (complete w/motor) sitting on the seller's tailgate, he had a tag of $35 on it and while just checking it over real fast he said " I'll take $30 for it"...I bought it instantly 😄
