Garage Sales

[Iplayfarmer]

Some people are just lucky, I guess. I've admittedly seldom stopped at garage sales, but I can't recall ever seeing anything I'd want to buy at one.

There's a difference between some guy who runs a perpetual garage sale and sells junk, and a one-time estate or moving sale where you can find some real bargains like Ductape's implements.

I never really went until a friend of mine who's FIL was a farmer turned steel worker had an estate sale before moving from the house into an assisted living apartment. AKA Major Downsize. She invited me to go early and get first pick of what was there. I went just as a favor to her and my eyes nearly bugged out of my head when I saw what he was almost giving away. I've been hooked on the concept ever since.

I've become pretty good at predicting what kind of stuff is going to be there based on the address and what is advertised to be in the sale.
