My first GREAT morning of this Spring/Summer season - Saturday

Because I waited too long for a 'Mirage Sale,' (an advertised garage sale that never opens up), I was late for a neighborhood sale. When I got there NO ONE else was moving from house to house. The residents were a little bewildered and a lot pissed - seems the person who was suppose to put up signs on the main road didn't.

Second house in had a table full of boxed set TV shows in near perfect condition - $1. each. I cleaned them out. Problem is, though, HBO and Showtime has put a prohibition of some sort on Amazon - resellers can no longer list their weekly series. So I had to list the bulk of them on Barnes and Noble's reseller platform. They don't move nearly as fast there.

Otherwise, at an early sale I found some Harley Davidson motorcycle toys. I also found a cache of Radio Shack cords and plugs new in original packaging that list on Amazon for $25. and above. Picked a box of those up for $4.

A few weeks ago I drove about 15 miles to one and I wasn't happy. Great finds!
