    Hello :wave:
    Newbie wagon owner here. I really have enjoyed reading this forum. This summer I was out yard sale shopping looking for important stuff mainly a push sweeper non electric vacuum. Driving around with my daughter we spotted one at a yard sale so we went to investigate.

    While haggling over the outrageous $1.00 price tag I noticed a ford station wagon sitting off to the side of the driveway. I looked it over and it was straight and the interior was pretty clean. So as it goes I start thinking this would be great to pull my boat to the lake as all I have now is a pickup truck with a standard cab and only can haul three people at a time. Looking at a wagon that could haul me, my daughter and 6 of her friends seemed like just the ticket. I still hadn't came to a firm price on the push vacuum I decided to throw the wagon into the mix.

    The owner said it had died in the garage one day and he didnt know what was wrong with it and so eventually after a couple of years he pushed it outside and there it sat since 2005. He said he would take $400 for it so we haggled a little and I ended up at $300.50 still had to pay .50 for the vacuum. I will update and post pics when I figure out how to do so. :dancing:

    Congrats and welcome waterman. Can't wait to see what you got for $300, (the wagon, not the vacuum!!) Post some pics--wagon stories with no pics are like gossip with no names.

    Wow Waterman, for only $300, I never expected it to look that good. I think you might have just stumbled on to a very fine deal.
