Found out my granddad's old post hole digger is worth more than my whole truck
Was cleaning out my dad's shed last weekend and found this old post hole digger my granddad used back in the 60s. Looked beat to hell, rust everywhere, handle wrapped in electrical tape. I almost threw it in the scrap pile but decided to look it up online first out of curiosity. Turns out it's some rare model made by a company that went under in the 70s, and there's a guy on eBay asking $450 for one in worse shape. Made me wonder how many old tools I've tossed without checking first, any of you guys ever find something valuable in a junk pile?

Did you actually sell it or is it still gathering dust in your shed?

Wait, you actually SOLD it? No way. I remember when you first posted that thing, it looked like it had been sitting in a damp corner for like 10 years with bird nests on it. I figured you'd end up just scrapping it for parts or something. Who even bought it? Some collector with more money than sense? I'm honestly shocked, that thing was rough.
