>Don't make me come down there and teach you people how to look for tools! It took me all of three hours to find the good spots in Denver and if I were a bettin man I think I could find them there also. Look for junk stores resale shops and flea markets. Then there is estate sales and auctions. when will you people ever learn. Sorry Glenn can't give you any direct addresses. but take a gander in the phone book for them places Estate sales are in the want adds.

>...the antique shops here are full of old crap tools they want premium dollar for. Most folks who move here are younger and "upwardly mobile" so no craftsman traits abound. Sometimes you get lucky at garage sales when the heirs don't know what Grandpa's tools are worth but professional pickers abound so you have to get there early.
