Jerry--

You got a Bosch drill at a garage sale for $5? I think we need to go into
business. You find cool bargains, and I'll set up a Web site called
www.acmestuff.com and we'll make a mint!

The industry must love people like you. Keep doing it,
as that is probably what enabled me to find a super
Bosch power drill and kit at a local garage sale for $5.00
Looks as if it had only been used to drill 6 holes! Top of
the line rechargeable, with spare battery etc.

The only Leica that I found at any garage sale, was a IIIc with
a Summitar for $25. Loads of Argus C3s.
