Yesterday I was planning on going to some yardsales (well, of course) and saw one that started at 7am so I decided to change my driving routine and hit that one first at 7am. What a waste of gas. It was so sparse that I felt compelled to take a picture (the seller had gone back inside). When I stopped I thought, well there is probably stuff inside the garage too --- nope. And it wasn't like this was the end of the day and this was all that was left - it was all they had planned on selling.
Did manage to find some other stuff at some sales - a plastic storage bookcase thing for Jacob's room ($2) - the cubicle thing I have now in his room is not working out. Will have to add pics later to this blog entry. Also bought some new/sealed VHS tapes at .10 each for my technologically-stuck-in-the-80's brother.
I am compiling a list of my Top 10 Favorite Yardsale Buys of 2008 and I think so far I have 4 items on the list (no new buys got added yesterday). This list is due to change.
1. North Face fleece jacket at thrift ($4 - even though a thrift store is not a yardsale it's still one of my favorite buys)
2. mini trampoline for jacob ($3)
3. set of Henckels knives $5
4. set of 8 Waterford Crystal glasses $5
Tonight is the finale of Big Brother. I am rooting for Adam to win. Didn't like him at first but he grew on me after a while.
I feel your pain. Yesterday was a total bust.
ReplyDeleteDont you want to go ask for your gas money back from sales like this?
ReplyDeleteI am rooting for Adam too, but I think Ryan will win it.
ReplyDeleteive actually gone to quite a few like this.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope they didn't have to pay much for their ad...if they advertised in the newspaper!!
ReplyDeleteI HATE sales like that!!
THat's the killer here, the newspaper is such a rip off but around here you HAVE to advertise it. I had a sale a couple of weeks ago & a short little ad was $34.00
No, this yardsale wasn't in the newspaper. It was advertised online - we have a tri-county regional website that has free classifieds and lots of yardsellers around here use that.
ReplyDeleteI was rooting for Adam to win, too. I knew he would beat Ryan.
