Thanks Yes the local park by me has its yearly Pumpkin Fest and it attracts many from all over and out of the area. Late year I ran a Yard Sale during it and Made $450 so I will be happy to tie that. I have alot of larger items that have not sold on Craigs list that i am hoping to move.

The garage sales are still going. Pretty late in the year for this area. Been having some luck at the thrift stores as well.

Harley Davidson shot glasses. LOOK FOR THESE! I paid 50 cents for the pair and expect $20-25 back. Maybe shy away from dealership ones, but these can bring quite nice return.

Marked "Pigonia" with a flower mark on the bottom. Anyone know the market for this stuff?

Picked up an old 50s Bing Cosby as well for 50 cents.

woah...that is a creepy statue!

[andrewconnors9]

people do like ugly and creepy though!!

[Wickabee]

Oh, it's hideous. Probably the ugliest thing I've ever owned. People liking ugly things is exactly what ran through my head, and for 50 cents I couldn't say no.

That pig is a water pitcher, by the way.

An AWESOME turn out for my yard sale. I actually had folks from New Hampshire,New York, and New Jersey stop by on their way to Pumpkinfest. I made some great contacts also as I met a few folks with specialty needs. All in all made about $550 and I have 3/4 of my basement clear. Guess it is time to restock LOL.

Nice man congrats!!

So went to the antique mall here in edmonton searching for NES games. Came across the only game I still have back home in Newfoundland , called Action 52. What I found funny was the price tag on it said 279.00$. Figured it was a typo til I checked ebay. Who would've knew. Lowest price one has sold for was 180$CAD, right up to 250$CAD for cartridge only. So it's en route to me in the mail :)
