Some purists may turn their noses up at partial or damaged pieces. But I find at times they can be nearly as enjoyable as excellent or better condition collectibles. For example, this sawed of wood 6-pack carrier would be worth hundreds if whole. I purchased it BIN Best Offer for $29 delivered. The age and dovetails hooked me, plus I thought it would fill a thin space above my cable box on the TV stand. Sure does
Do I wish it were complete? Yep. However, 66.6% happy can still be a lot of fun!

That's a 100% good deal right there Dave, looks great to me!
Thanks Bernie. I eyeballed it a couple days before making an offer, not my usual quick-draw. My wife finally nudged me ("are you looking at that old crate again???" :)
Now thats a good woman when they are supportive of the "habit"!!
Your collection is beyond stellar looking Dave, nicely done!
Did you get that Big Boy cleaned and hung up yet? Looking forward to seeing it on display. Have a good weekend Bernie.
Half of a rare one is better than none my friend. I'm just going to satisfy my addiction by staring at your budding collection carriers for a little bit...
Hey Tom, thanks and good to hear from you.
Not yet Dave, it's been waayy too cold here, starting to fill up the shop with projects, I've got to get to it soon or I could lose it in there!
I hear ya, pal. I haven't seen a patch of grass since November...
It has been a long winter, for sure, good for staying in and scoping out the deals as few and far between as they are these days.
Hopefully spring is just around the corner Dave!
