Yard sales

Today we went to a few yard sales and we found a bunch of signs but either there was nothing we needed or the yard sale signs were expired. On our way back home we found a sign that said garage sale and it wasn't outside like most garage sales it was inside a house. We went in and there was a few older women and they told us that if we found something we liked that we could tell them how much we wanted to pay for the item and they would see if that was a reasonable price. We looked around and we found a few shirts for me. One with wolves, one with a cat and a rose, one with giraffes, and one with birds. They are in pretty good shape with only a few stains that we can probably get out and they were only a quarter! We also found a old camera. When we asked how much it was and they said two dollars. I went back in again to ask if it worked and they said they didn't know so they asked if we wanted it for one dollar and so we took it too. The last thing was a really old pair of binoculars. They were thirty five dollars and we asked if she could go lower so she asked if we would give her ten and we said we didn't think we had it so she then asked what we would give her for it and we said five is all we can pay for it. She hesitated and said OK I'll take five. But it was amazing! We got a pair of really old binoculars for five when they were priced at thirty five!! :) We did get a few other things too but they aren't anything I need to post. :) As we thanked them and left we stopped at a little store and bought a drink because it was hot then went home. Today was fun and I love my shirts! LOL :)
Till later!!!!!

To feed my Garage Sale fix I built www.garagesalenation.com, it maps out all the sales in the country. Last weekend I had over 24,000 sales mapped on it.

Hope it helps you find even more sales,
