Lol...kind of. This guy we know...his father passed away a few months ago and was overwhelmed
With all of the things his dad left behind. Lathes, construction equipment, tools, tractors, the list is large lol imagine a barn full of a man's treasures collected for over 60 years.
So, my brother began buying a few things here and there and then the guy offered to sell everything with the catch that he literally take everything.
