    Happy as can be!

    You know how you feel when someone posts that they struck "pay dirt" in finding a stash of premium casting stuff? You feel happy for the lucky recipient and usually a whole lot of envy. You sit and think, why can't that happen to me? You count on your hand the number of guys you know that seem to ALWAYS stumble on to premium deals. You know what I'm talking about.

    Well, it was finally my turn.
    - I got a Star lube/sizer MINT condition, dies and punches for 357, 44Mag, 45 ACP, 45 Long Colt
    - 3 Hensley & Gibbs 4cavity mold with handles, MINT (45 ACP, 357, 44mag)
    - 3 Saeco 4 cavity molds with handles, MINT (357, 44, 45)

    There were Angel Rays shining through the clouds and the Birds were singing!
    I offered to pay GENEROUSLY. This was "gifted" to me as they will never use it. God bless all generous people.

    Wow!

    What a find. Very good equipment, probably $550-750 worth at least, depending
    on exact designs could be over $1000 value.

    Quick, go buy a lottery ticket!

    45 ACP because shooting more than once is just silly!!

    As happy as Canbe? I envy this Canbe fella, because I've heard of folks being proud as he is, and lucky as he is, and pleased as he is, and...



    ps: Take those folks to a nice restaurant as thanks. Everybody eats, and everybody appreciates a thankful person.

    I'll figure out how to add pictures. I'm going to "pay" the gifter with a Front Sight membership I have. He will enjoy it and I'll sleep better. God Bless all generous people!!!

    Waldog - you did good. Congrats. You finally caught the wave !! You will enjoy your new equipment. H&G & Saeco molds, you should ALMOST be ashamed...... enjoy Mike

    Wow, what a dream come true! The last time I had a dream like that, I needed a moist towlette.

    Nice to have offered some decent $$$ and then get rewarded. You got the best for the least.

    This is a great idea. What I've done before is buy a gift card for a local restaurant that'll cover a nice dinner, appetizer and a couple of drinks. Put it in a thank you card and drop it in the mail. He may just find a few more items that aren't needed anymore, and you'll be the first person he thinks of.
