Though I haven't been lucky enough to ever find hunting or fishing gear I could use at one. <br /><br />My best score to date was a little "whimsical" painting I picked up for $25 only to find out it was by some semi-famous folk artist and it was worth $250!

The throw-aways are what's left on Sunday afternoon when you finally give up! :) We don't shop garage sales but we have one every few years. Except down here they're called "yard sales." I can't figure out if that's because not everyone has a garage, or we just have so much stuff to pass around between everyone that it won't all fit in a garage and has to be thrown around all over the yard. :) <br /><br />I'll give her $40 for the combo!? :)Owlhttp://www.owljones.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934936932021151476.post-11739824545137788902011-03-04T10:42:10.321-07:002011-03-04T10:42:10.321-07:00In my youth, my maternal grandma used to drag me t...In my youth, my maternal grandma used to drag me to garage sales...all day affairs. To this day, I hate garage sales. However, bargains can be found, but never by me. Dustin and I are in need of a ton more gear, so perhaps I need a lesson in patience so I can find some goodies on the neighbor's drive.<br /><br />-stephanieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12081984259159466260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934936932021151476.post-51945755198821250642011-03-04T09:28:36.342-07:002011-03-04T09:28:36.342-07:00Truth be told, I am not one to rummage through som...Truth be told, I am not one to rummage through someone's throw aways. But, after hearing this story, I think that I will drive by a little more slowly when I do see a yard sale!
