Sometimes the question answers itself

I'm still puzzling whether it is better to buy interesting items because of their potential or wait until there is a need and search for the items. Perhaps there is not a universal answer to the question. My supply inventory is as big as it needs to be right now, but some opportunities are too tempting to walk away from.


This little peach discovered today for only $25.00.  

It is a commercial grade model 185K.

These packages were on clearance at 90% off.

Turns out that when an idler pulley became necessary for this project

 it was good to have them on hand.

This project has stalled a bit because some parts (bearings) I ordered have not yet arrived. Perhaps this is another clue that "on hand" inventory has its advantages.
