Is it too good to be true?

Post by Ann Demko »

Reading the morning paper, I came across an ad for a two day tool sale. It is a company that goes around to cities, sets up and sells reconditioned and new tools and then leaves. They had a 10 gal. sandblasting pressure pot for $98 and a 30"X 20" sandblast booth for $188. What do you think? Ann

I think I'd inspect the items very carefully, but it may be a good deal. Brock
My memory is so good, I can't remember the last time I forgot something . . .

you can get a new 40 lb pressure pot for $79, and a similar booth for $199 when harbor freight runs their normal sales on these items.

they come with a warrantee longer than 5/5.

Ann- those road shows aren't giving anything away. Buy from somewhere you can go back to. Marty
