What better is that usage of tennis court is free and doesn't require a reservation (first come first serve).
Whereas racquetball requires a reservation and need to pay $4.30 at the rec center.

Nice to not need reservations. Like t time for golf on a friday morning.

I'm not sure what I think of this story, but it seems like a decent deal on a small travel trailer: https://denver.craigslist.org/rvs/d/...946717832.html

I'd grab the stove, if you don't like it. It's worth that in scrap.

The camper, if it's still available with that price. As with any camper. I'd do a good inspection underneath and anywhere water use items are. Lots of people buy campers only to discover that good deal has a rotted floor under the sink or toilet area.

Caboose stove will crank out the heat. We had one in the window shop when I was a kid.

Caboose stove is gone. Bummer, that looked like a great deal.

Do you think that the Brass Armadillo is just a front for a money laundering operation?

It's a place full of trash marked at insane prices. It'd be easy to source junk, mark it up, then let innocent little old ladies resell it to your foot soldiers so you can wash cash. No "sellers" are ever there and everything is coded in numbers. Seems like a pretty safe bet to me.

Dont know if I've mentioned this yet but I have a new trigger to try later today. Kind of excited to see if I'll like it or not. It's a SD-E.

I found a neat old (overpriced) safe at one of the booths there. Like you said, no seller there, so I asked the lady at the front counter, and made a pretty low offer (there was a sign posted encouraging negotiations). She called the owner of the booth, he accepted the offer and we paid the lady. She looked through a box and found a card with the combo written on it. I think each ?booth? is rented individually and the house takes a cut of the sales.

Or it?s the mob.

I haven't been in there for probably 20+ years. How much do you think those little 'booth' rentals have to be to sustain the overhead? Rental + percentage maybe?

I always see a few cars in the parking lot, but just how many antique egg beaters, beaded lampshades & rotary hoe wheels do you have to move to see a roi?
