Picked up a Park Tool truing stand at a pawn shop in Austin last week

I was killing time between jobs near downtown Austin and walked into this pawn shop off Congress. Sitting in the back was a barely used Park Tool TS-2.2 truing stand for $90, which is like a third of retail. I grabbed it and brought it back to the shop, and I've been using it to dial in some wobbly wheels that were driving me crazy. Has anyone else scored good bike tools secondhand or do you prefer buying new for the warranty?

I found a Park Tool wheel truing stand at a thrift store near Portland last year for $60, the thing was practically new. I use it every week now and it works just as good as the new ones we have in the shop.

$60 is an absolute steal for that stand lol. Park Tool stuff lasts forever too.
