I am putting together a second small shop and have picked up several recent
good deals on tools on Craig's list.  I always do local deals only, I make
arrangements to see it then go with cash in hand.  If it seems OK I will
make an offer and go from there.  So far no problems.

Here are some of the power tools I have picked up fairly cheaply.

There were a couple of other things I picked up because they were such a
good deal, like a 24' extension ladder and a hand power planer.  I am still
looking for a 9" angle grinder.
