Bree Posted February 4, 2009 Report Posted February 4, 2009 I am fundamentally cheap... a perfect consumer. I shop shop shop til I drop drop drop. I wanted to get a 64 oz maul to make it easier to lop off belt ends. My first choice was a Barry King maul. I have a lighter one that I like very much and I was planning to get the 64 oz model as well. So I shop Barry's website and come up with a price of $70.00. Ouch!! I was hoping that the price point would have been lower on that. So consumerette starts shopping and low and behold there is a nice 64 oz leather handled maul at Weaver. It's one of the Weaver Master Tools series and the price is $56.65. That's a winning price and though I very much wanted to support Barry who I like a lot, I must surrender to my consumerism. I buy from Weaver and it is delivered today along with many other goodies that I bought. WOW!! The maul is beautiful!! I love it! So I am fooling with it and studying my new tool and what do I find... BARRY KING!!! Hot Dayum!! The Weaver Master Tool is made by Barry!!! Yeah!! I got the "Nice Price" AND I got to support Barry King to boot. He didn't score as much as he would have if I had bought from the website but he scored something. And I had $13.35 to spend on a baker's dozen of those great Jeremiah Watt slotted Floral conchos which are on sale for $.96@. And I have almost a half a dollar left over to drop on a nice candy bar!

HorsehairBraider Posted February 4, 2009 Report Posted February 4, 2009 Wow. What a perfect day you have just described. Except, I would have only gotten 12 conchos, and more chocolate.

Bree Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Posted February 4, 2009 I understated the score. I got two dozen conchos, 3,000 spots, a bullhide shoulder, a couple hundred Chicago screws, some casing concentrate, Barge cement thinner, and some deglazer. I love shopping! Quote Ride Safe!
