    You could spend two days giving those saws the good cleaning they need and still have four saws worth a total of $10.

    Another example of a seller throwing a price just to see it it sticks.
    Our lock Kijiji is full of them.

    $10 would still be too much.

    I don't think those would even make good scrapers.

    Maybe the word "Antique" is missing from that ad.

    Maybe he meant it was good clean rust. Or high quality rust.

    When I buy overpriced junk I hate getting low quality rust when I expected one of the finer examples of oxidation. It's such a let down.

    This guy has been selling this mower forever. It's in "good" condition, but it's so rusted it "may need some fabrication." You would think he would at least dig it out of the weeds for the picture.

    That's a deal for an antique ice/snow saw. Especially if someone was looking to build an igloo.
