Got a unit yesterday for $20. Only contents was a liquor box, a back pack and a broken shoe shine box.
Really just bid since it was a decent looking NorthFace pack. Probably $50 new. Nothing special but I could use it.....
Pack was full of crappy hiking stuff. Got maybe $20-$30 of day hike gear. Nice little stove but tips over. 90% went in trash.
Shoe shine box got trashed along with 90% of its contents too.
Box? Another 90 percenter. BUT.....<back story> I use to do well selling those old hand crank meat grinders. People would pay $25 for them and I'd get them at estates for $1-$5. Then the estates got wise and started charging like $10/ea. and other started selling.....now they are all over Craigslist .....anyway, I've always wanted the 'salesman sample' meat grinder. You know, mini version he would go door-to-door selling.
So in the box. Got it! No idea why I want it. Just kitchen decoration but with the other stuff this makes a good $20 spend.
This is not mine. Just a random eBay link to show what I'm talking about:

Funny we like meat grinders too.... Really anything with a crank handle.
We have a little one think it is pencil sharpener..
That is really cool.

Yeah, I got a bunch. Different sizes and shapes. Last week got a huge one. Opening is 3"x3". Cheese grater. I'll try and get you a picture....
I've never actually used them to grind meat but I do make my own nut butter. Finally found that attachment at a garage sale. Peanut, almond, pine nut.....
Also to crush tomatoes for gravy. Chick pea's for hummus.
Pretty handy little device even in this age of electronic gadgets.

The peanut butter sounds good....
Here is the caner we picked up years ago... Looks like we should sell it we paid $45 for it... LOL
