Yard sale finds

July 23rd, 2006 at 03:39 am

Actually, as has been the pattern for the past month or more, the yard sales were sparse. But again, I did very well with what I did find.

I picked up some toy train items, and checked them online, I figure I can sell half and get what I paid, and keep the rest for myself So not a super deal, but it works for me.

The real deal came at the very last sale. I was almost back home, and saw a small sign, and wandered about, and found it about a mile from my house. It didn't look like much, just a lot of clothes. Well it turned out the clothese were for a man that had just died, and his measurements were exactly mine. Plus his son in law said he never saw a man with so much clothes, so there was a ton to look through. Most were new, and some with tags still on them. I ended up spending $20 for: a complete business suit, a large leather jacket, a large rain jacket (to put over suit), two other business slacks, and 5 casual business shirts. As I said, all like new (three still with tags on), probably totalled $200 - $300 in the stores for all of it.

    congrats on your finds! I love tag sales but since I'm moving I have to resist stopping at them so it is nice to hear what others score Smile
