Garage Sale Hunting! Tips, Hints and Advice

[stlcardinalsfan]

I will have to change my stance thanks for the info

i always see online people who tell others to stay away from them, but hell you can pick them up for cheap and flip pretty good.

I had a disney store exclusive bullseye from toystory that sold for 30, a wall-e that sold for 30, a blues clues that sold for 25...all in the same week and i only spent 1.50 on them.

Even though I have 10 of thousands of the so called worthless overproduced 80's and 90's cards I can never pass up a deal. So I was at a nice yard sale and this older gentleman had these 2 boxes. I could see they were loaded with junk but I said " how much" and he said $2 I just want rid of them. Well as 4 people started coming for the boxes I said "SOLD". So I did not get to sort thru but when I got home I peeked. This is what I found so far well worth $2. And a hodge podge of stuff. NOTE THE LUCK WAS NOT ON TOP WHEN I FIRST SAW THE BOX LOL.

I love random boxes like that. I was at a city wide yardsale last year and there was a guy who was selling sheets of 88 score and 90 donruss for 5$ a peice ....i flipped through and the whole binder was worth about minus 3$

Yeah I had to make a quick decision because the seagulls were closing in. Besides for $2 that is cheap entertainment. I have found a few more goodies which I will post later.

Went yard selling yesterday, picked up some nice stuff.

pair of little kids georgia boots for 7$ (look brand new)

went to a day care that was going out of business and she had stuff priced to go lol

super nintendo with 2 controllers and hookups for 10$
Super nintendo XMen apocalypse and Spiderman ultimate carnage for 3$ each!
a 10lb box of misc small toys for 3$! (most were early 90s happy meal toys...which can really add up)

I went to the Salvation Army next and picked up a 1987 captain crunch plush for 2$ (looks amazing) and 2 Zhu Zhu pets still in the boxes for a quarter each...yes 25 cents!

lastly i stopped by walgreens and checked out the clearance, and picked up an angry bird plush and finn from adventure time for less than 1$ each!
