Hoist the Sales- the all yardsales thread

Bum Bill Bee · 09-08-2012, 11:30 PM

Stories and ancedotes about yardsales you've been to or held. Like today I a lot of good deals, such as 3 Gamecube games for $1.75. I also saw some interesting unexpected things like two katanas with sheaths and handles that looked like snakeskin. It was really too bad I couldn't think of a use for them except maybe decoration or a halloween costume, which I don't do anymore, since I'm 22. You just can't fool the adults at that age.

On a more disconcerting note, I saw the Scanner/printer I own at two different sales, one for just $5! But on the up side. I saw that I wasn't the only one who sold VHS tapes for a dollar a piece. The durability of those things is really truly underrated. Also I saw a Peter Rabbit baby pillow thing, and I'm just surprised that they still made Peter Rabbit things at 2004.

I've never found any CDs I like. I did find some great big books on fantasy/myths stuff with some fairly creepy illustrations. Like in a book about ghosts they had some closeups from Pieter Brugel's Triumph of Death painting. And of course I am always astounded by the number of bad paperback romances that exist.

My own yard sales this year have been a disapointment. The third and last one only made $72. The best one I've ever had made over $350.

So anyone else got something to share here? Please be good sports and not spam this up too much, 'kay?
