Anyone Bought RV/Camping Supplies At A Rummage Sale ?

Might kick myself later but passed on a tri pod this past weekend. Dont know much about it but the old chap selling it says he bought it at Camping World and was selling it for $80 obo. Reason he was selling it is because he had stabilizers made for his 5er at a cost of $300.00. I passed on it because after reading all post regarding tri pods and visiting with the seller of the tri pod, I figured I would save my money and consider more options like stabilizers.
