2020 is almost over - Thank God! Even how overall crappy this year was, I managed to get some deals that made me happy. Here is some of my favorite buys (and an awesome freebie) I scored in 2020. Three out of the four came from people posting stuff for sale on Facebook.
My usual flea market that I sell at nearly every weekend, never opened in 2020. So I had to explore other selling options. There were a few random fundraising yardsales I sold at (Humane Society yardsale etc) and I was able to sell about twice a month at a firehouse fundraising yardsale. It definitely was a smaller venue but in some ways it was better than the larger flea market. Since there was a smaller number of sellers allowed, the customers spent more time at your table/space rather than being in a hurry to run off to see what the other sellers had. At the large flea market, there is a lot of territory to cover, so customers sometimes seem like they are in a rush to see what else they are missing.
$25 - a super heavy duty rolling cart. The person who sold it to me said it came from a grocery store. I use it in my kitchen pantry to store stuff.
FREE - I got this awesome Kitchenaid Blender with attachments totally free. The person was moving and just wanted to give it away. It was the second time the person had listed it- the first time someone already claimed it but never showed up to get it. So the person posted it again, and I said "I'll be right over"
.50 yardsale find. A Lefton Miss Priss cat creamer. My Aunt Kate had the cookie jar and it really made an impression on me as a kid. I just loved it. I don't know what happened to it when she died.
$50 gently used gas grill with tank. Our current gas grill was starting to have problems so when I saw this one - which also included a half full tank (not in picture) I knew it was a good deal.
