Default Bilko snip from Ride on problem

snip from Bilko ride on problem post:

If you know what you're doing you can get the best bargains ever at Home
Depot and Lowes. I bought 2 slightly damaged landscape trailers for the
price of one - fixed one in the parking lot with a piece from the other -
and got the 2nd fixed at no cost with a replacement part from the
manufacturer. - I bought a returned and fixed Troybilt tiller for 1/5 the
original price - and a trailer load of broken bags of potting soil / manure,
etc for $20 - and a whole box of asparagus plants for the price of one. -
plus I have a never ending supply of pallets for kindling, compost bins, and
firewood racks. I have to look out for #1 - and I couldn't make out like
that at a "small business".

Bilko is being really modest here, did you know he built two of his best
friends with parts from the local mortuary?

So that's it !! I go away for the weekend and this is what I find when I
return ??? btw, I forgot to report the 2 lanscape trailers full of their
grey commercial storage racks for free just because they had merchandise
price stickers all over them and they weren't interested in cleaning them
off.
