Not so much found a bargain but saved one.
Had a garage sale on the weekend to clear out some stuff after we lost Mum a few weeks ago. Mum loved Albert Namatjira and had a few prints on the wall, so we had them for sale at $5 each. The dealers rolled up an hour early and tried to pick the eyes out of the stuff we had. One of the dealers grabbed a picture, but I happened to look at it a bit closer and noticed that two of the pictures, were not by Albert, but by Maurice Namatjira and Benjamin Lantara. Turns out that Maurice is the son and Benjamin is the son in law, and both are original watercolors bought by my mum in Alice Springs in the 60's. The dealer was pretty pi$$ed off when he could not get them for $5 each

A good 24 hour period.

Last night picked up two items in brand new condition. $120 for both on FleaBay.

A Bushmaster 4WD Step valued @ $79.95
A 100w Folding Mono-c Solution X panel valued @ $299.00

Then off the the Local BCF for some price matching.

An Oztent RV4 for $989 down from $1299
Both deluxe side panels for $299 down from $399
The front deluxe panel for $169.95 down from $249.00
and the fly for $130 down from $179.00

and a great lunch on the way home, via the bottle shop.

I purchased a 200watt from them about 2 months ago...$221  Works ok.  Yet to take it away but all seems good. I removed the cabling and put my own heavy copper cables plus used my own regulator.  Actually the wiring is quite acceptable on the set up .  The regulator needs to as near the battery as possible. PWM or MPPT...it doesnt really matter as long as the panel works. Solar is getting cheaper all the time.

May be ok for someone http://auctions.gregsons.com.au/m/
some of those ute tray custom campers would make a good buy i reckon, the ones with the doors that don't stay up would be simple strut replacements or regas even to fix them.

Yeah, I waited till the price came down and paid $480 for a 110MB SCSI in 1992  ;D. I think it was about a year later, I stripped down a 5MB HDD that stood about 750mm High, and was 600mm X 600mm. It had a cooling blower motor that weighed about a Kg, and you could attach it to a piece of rectangular PVC to the outlet, to make a nifty lawn blower.

In 1986 I bought a 40 Meg HD for $550. I now have it mounted on my wall as a bit of historical art.

Accounting for inflation, the 5MB cost $10,954 in 2016 dollars. $2191 per MB. A 2TB drive is about $100. This is $0.00005 per MB. So......43,816,000 more expensive.
