My neighbor and I went to this community sale this weekend. we went to a lot of houses before they even open the gates. But kind of funny story I was driving by one house and I had two tables out maybe 15 feet from the road in the driveway and I just looked over and drop down to about 4 miles an hour maybe five. Mostly clothes and shoes. Well in the center of the table there was a break and this is exactly what I saw from the road... image-740374904.jpg But a lot farther away. Hit the brakes backed up parked the car. Jumped out ran up to the table my neighbor thought I was nuts. But I knew exactly what they were from the road without hesitation!! $10 each!! I'll take them! image-1517847027.jpg

To think I almost missed out on purchasing twins because I assumed it was nothing good at the house because of two small tables!!

How are these not completely obsolete due to smartphones?

Because it would be pretty easy to cheat in class if you were using a graphing smartphone for tests.

Nice, every time I see them I pick these up. I try to list them right before a new school semester starts.
