    Default Garage sale season is upon us...

    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?

    5K of 22 in ammo cans, Used 1x engine hoist ($50) Free snap on tool cart. Sometimes you're there as good shit is being rolled out. other times as it's being rolled away.
    I'm doing a GS the 18th. Welders, drill presses, work benches, tools, tools, tools. If i had a way to strip and repaint the 8 x 5 enclosed trailer i have, it be for sale too. HINT

    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.
