Craftsman 25CC leaf blower, and Craftsman 25CC weedwhacker, paid a combined total of 24$ for both of them brand new from lowes 5 months ago, also bought 2 others of the same weedwhacker and sold them for 80$ each, so i made ~140$ after keeping the leaf blower and weedwhacker for myself .

No question my bumper plates & my home gym I built during COVID-19 last year.
Haven’t gone back to a commercial gym since March 2020...
Life is good!

Garage List
2018 BMW i3.
Cost: free
Profit: $4k

Long story short, got an awesome deal on it, but I started having problems. BMW offered to buy it back but I refused. I loved the car and I wanted it fixed. I also told them I wasn't sure I would get the same deal since it was a unicorn deal ($204/mo after taxes on a 30 month lease). They offered a cash payout plus guaranteed BMWFS rebate if I got another i3, which I was planning to anyway since I really did love the car.

All in all, the settlement recouped all my expenses on the car. I basically drove the car for free for a year, including insurance, and I still had $4k in extra cash. I ended up finding a newer i3 with more options, upgraded interior and a bigger discount than my old one with a lower monthly payment ($194/mo).

My free i3:

from homedepot i purchased repair kit that contains all kinds of washers for outdoor spigot, faucets etc.... so far i have repaired 3 hose bibbs, the rubber washer held by screw was thin like paper.
First i had to check DIY on youtube, just to make sure I could do the task.

I bought a 2012 TDI Touareg. 5 years later they paid me just short of what I paid fully for it. I ordered my 328dX Wagon with that money.

Inanimate: hand tools. I’ve got screwdrivers and wrenches I bought in the 1970s that I still use and work great.

Power tool: surprisingly it is a bench grinder I bought for about $30 over 40 years ago and still use to sharpen everything from shovels to lawnmower blades. I’ve been tempted to put on a buffing wheel, but never have.

Animate: no question that would be our doggo. Chocolate lab rescue.

Because off-topic posts don't count, just like in many other online forums.....
