I went to two estate sales this morning, where everything was 1/2 price. Then this afternoon, while heading to Lowe’s, I see a garage sign in front of a barn, about a mile from my house. I spent $352 on everything today.

$5 - Wiffle Ball in box


All these books for $1 each. A couple of them are $50 books. This isn’t all of them.














$1 - 1915 Baton Rouge Yearbook


$4 slide ruler


Sterling silver, all for $115












$40 glass slides for lanterns (maybe Audubon)


$112 - Anri music box. Anri has always been one of my major money makers




All that came from the two estate sales, I spent $290 at the two sales.


The following is from the barn sale, I spent $62

$5 - missing pieces


$2 - Uranium glass lamp, shade is broken


$15 - 1970’s Sunoco racing jacket


Now for the find of the day, week, month, and year, plus maybe in my top 5 of all times.

$40



I didn’t look it up until I got home. If he would have said $50 or higher, I would have passed.



One sold 5 days ago for $1000

Why pass at 50 bucks on something that is listed for 1k online?

Edit- I misread, so you would have passed at 50, and come to find out later they list for 1k. Got it.

Half of what it was marked on Friday. I knew the Anri piece was worth about $300, so I risked it to see if it was still there Sunday.
A lot of shite the have is priced right off eBay, but they miss stuff all the time.

I know that, it’s not my first rodeo. I’m thinking it will go in $500-$700 range

After shipping, ebay and paypal fees. You will net $350

Not bad

Percentage wise, my Best Buy will probably be the uranium glass lamp, even though the shade is broken. If it wasn’t broken, it’s a $500 lamp
