Garage saling — how are you doing this year?

I haven’t had a lot of luck garage saling this year (haven’t honestly done a lot of it, but finding a lot of sales with verrrry overpriced items and stuff that is in just plain bad condition). Scored on Friday, though!

New toy

Mr. 3 fell in love with this Peg Perego bulldozer/loader thing, which cost… $10.00! It’s quite old and missing a pedal, but you know what? That’s OK. Because when we went online to see if we could pick up the pedal, the closest thing I could find is the new John Deere branded version, selling for $179.99 (!).

Mr. 3 has played with it pretty much nonstop for the last two days. So, what have you scored lately? 🙂

I picked up someone's entire cd library at a garage sale... About 500 cd's at 50c each, which sounds like a lot of money but most of them are hot albums, classic albums. I knew I would be able to sell most of the ones we didn't want. Well... after shipping them off to secondspin in the next few weeks it will end up a moneymaker... and we are keeping 100+ of the best ones for ourselves!!!

Love garage sales for books, who is going to pay 7.99 when when it's out there for .50! Great find on the bulldozer and nintendo. Had a block sale this year and made $300 for our vacation fund.

Went to a garage sale and the person had a table full of stuff that was obviously "purchased" using coupons. AquaFresh, Old Spice, bars of soaps, Oil of Olay etc. Not sure how they did becuase it was priced close to what you would pay in the store with coupons : ) Has anyone else sold there stash at garage sales?
