I really shouldn't say it but I was reading another thread about a cat using a flux core welder because he can't afford a nice welder........
Well i shouldn't say it , but crackheads are a good source of nice things for cheap.
I don't condone drugs in any way and I certainly don't partake in drugs but once time I saw a crackhead and his gf walking down a city street and they were selling DVDs, watches and a bunch of stuff in a shopping cart. So I had a look and bought some new stuff for really cheap, because cash is king with them.
I got to talking to them and they had "access" to more stuff. She mentioned she had a few brand new in box sewing machines. I met them later that night at 7/11 and sure as ****, a brand new in box Baby Lock sewing machine I had seen at the store for $599. ...... whipped out 2 crisp hundo bills and the guy loaded it in my car LOL.
I bought some tools from them too. Quality, new stuff for cheap, because they like crisp hunnit dolla bills yo!!
So I'm saying, welders come through every now and then, these people had some but I didn't pay attention because i already have a nice welder that my parents got me for Christmas long time ago.
