Flea Market.

[SpudStuff]

I just got back from the local flea market. there was a guy there selling all sorts of scientific pnumatic parts. I scored 3 2.5 inch Glyceriene filled ashcroft guages. theguages are calabrated to 0.1% accuracy. I got two 0-100 Psi ones and one 0-160 psi one. they were only $2 a piece( the are normally $250 new)

I also got ten bloguns like the ones joel uses on the modified sprinkler valves for $1

On top of that i got 2 60000 PSI 3 way valves for $2

This guy has no clue what he is selling

Ill post pics later my camera is giving me a hard time

[huse_spud]

maybe he took out little springs and crap out of the stuff he was selling for his own little projects

no, not likely, but what r u gonna use the 3 way valves for? imagine the possiblities for cool parts like that.

All the flea markets here suck wang. Just some mexicans selling rugs and sh*t. Those are some good deals you got. I got 7 3ways off of ebay and they were also 2$. They were made of some fairly hard plastic, what are yours made out of?

Huse_Spud, 3-ways can be used for propane metering which is nice since it only requires you to move one lever instead of the normal two.

single valve high pressure dart gun with un regulated nitrogen service

everything works fine . . . .

oh mine are made of a solid block of stainless steel . . . . . . .

So you got Grade 4A 2.5" gauges for $2 a peice? I hate you

The flea market I normally go to sucks ass all of a sudden, they used to have gauges and blowguns for like $2 each, but I guess the guy stopped coming...

I have to go to this giant one like 2 hours away now to get good stuff, but they sell schraders for like $1, gauges for $1.5, and blowguns for like $1...

[SpudStuff]

the guages are extremely accurate. i hooked them all together on a manafold and the all had the same reading

my friend got about 400 taps and 10 dies for five bucks from some tool yard sale. he got a whole bunch of other stuff too included in that five dollar deal but im not sure what. most of the taps were new too.

[Mihlrad]

400 taps? are they good ones or just... meh? Taps and dies cost a shitload.... a die is like 25 dollars for a good one...

[djt]

yeah i know its crazy. yeah they are good ones, all npt but there are alot of doubles which he gave to me . but he has one that looks like its about one inch. it looks like it would have costed 100 bucks new or more. i almost peed my pants when i saw all the stuff he got for five dollars.

[Atlantis]

Is it possible that the guy stole the stuff and did'nt know how much it was worth?

[djt]

the guys dad died and he was selling his tools. guess he still didnt know how much it was worth. he just wanted to get rid of the stuff. i think his dad that died took them from his work a long time ago though. they might be stolen like two generations ago.

[SpudStuff]

Ohh that is a good deal, what sizes were they and would you sell some.

[djt]

im not sure i would have to check. my friend probably has about any npt size you could ask for. ill ask him if he would sell you any cause i have no clue how to sell things online and he has a muuuuuuuuch bigger selection.

[jjk92]

if you mall me a check or something i guess i could sell you some stuff i could only sell you the doubles i have left which is about 100 you can email me about them at fenderfreak35@inbox.com the selling will be first come first serve
