There's one about half a mile from my house too.  One finds all kinds 
of stuff there, some things very worn out and cheap, some quite nice, 
the occasional very good item apparently replaced by a newer model, 
etc.  Really good stuff doesn't stay around long though.  The shop 
keeps odd hours, but workmen around here seem to know all about the 
place.

I once tried to find their website just to check their hours.  A 
curious thing is that if I Google for used tools in my city, it shows 
that store in the correct location on Main St., and another store 
too.  But when I click the URL it gives, it brings up some tool 
rental chain in California.  Heck, it off by only about 3000 miles, 
just a quick hop downtown, right?  When I asked the proprietor about 
it he knew nothing about it, doesn't have a website or anything.  
Google got it wrong.

(I read it on the Internet so it must be true.)
