Garage sale season is upon us...

[hghclsswhitetrsh]

With the warm weather comes lots of awesome stuff to do - outdoor shooting, four wheeling, bikinis, fishing, allergies, yard work, wake surfing, biking and last but not least... Yard sale-ing!

I stumbled across a yard sale close to 84th and Huron that a guy had just purchased a storage unit. In the storage unit were thousands of dollars of hvac tools. Bought a bunch of tools and supplies for pennies on the dollar.

So what's your best score at a yard sale?

I got rid of all my old tv's, and other crap that I don't use...

Two summers ago, in town, I ran across 1000 pieces of .50AE brass "New" and bullets...$100............................SCORE!!! !

I have to start going to those garage sales. All the ones I hit are filled with baby clothes and furniture. I did score a custom ice fishing rod with reel that makes for a nice rig to keep in your truck.

With a few decades of garage sales under my belt, it would be hard to pick "the" best score.
But one that stands out, was the LNIB Colt Python for $200.

Canning jars! I can't get enough. I scored a dozen pint Bell jars yesterday.

I wonder how beneficial a Garage Sale Intel sticky would be? I know a lot of you are looking for specific things. I wouldn't know reloading equiment if it bit me, but if I came across some, I'd either want to let you all know- or pick it up and meet someone else for an exchange of some sort. Hmmm.

My wife once got me a used Garmin Rhino (GPS/FRS Radio) for $30 at a yard sale.

Mossberg pump 20 gauge, used but still good condition for $40 2 years ago at an estate sale in Cherry Hills Village. I drive by on Hampden everyday and a couple times a month there's a sign for estate sales. Old rich people's stuff can yield some finds.

Matchbox cars $1 for 10 for my son!

[wctriumph]

Two big boxes of Playboy magazines in plastic covers. Still have 'em. Every time I tried to post on Craigslist they were flagged within minutes. Gave up trying to sell them so they just sit in the boxes in my garage.

My best score was a virgin 400 bare SBC block for $75.

[gnihcraes]

RCBS Rock Chucker and several sets of Dies for $60. (To keep with the firearms theme)

Couple of Fluke Multi-Meters for $30 each. I'm Sure they are "HOT", since that is about all the guy was selling.

I think you can sell them on feebay if you put them in the 'adult' section.

[Shock] You've got everyone beat!

[Danimal]

Man I need to find out where all the rich right wing neighborhoods are. Everyone I go to has clothes, beat up furniture and lawnmower parts. Colt python for $200... I would have crapped my pants.

[Jefe's AR]

My cousin and I would go garage sale-ing when I would go back and visit them in Syracuse when I was a kid. We'd buy a bunch of model kits that were usually half there then frankenbuild some cool model cars and such. Best monies I ever spent. :)

GARAGE SALE RANT.

HEY YOU, SALE PERSON. When you put 1 sign, 2 miles away with an arrow point in the general direction, WITH NO ADDRESS WTF you selling shit or just cluttering up the stop signs???

4 GS's in town sat. 3 of them has a 8.5" x 11 piece of paper with GARAGE SALE > That's it.

OR you get the GS signs where you think they were signing a check and not large enough to read, FROM A CAR. garage sale>
