Yard sale

It is an addiction. I think about stopping but I already have enough cast iron pans and pots to cook for an army.

What a lot of people don't realize as crossing the mountains and ridges to just get to the trailer business is a killer and then 400 miles each way after. I may have to come up and get some of that spring water if I ever could catch you at home.

It might show up at your garage door soon.

When I was a kid we use to go to Houston to visit an uncle and we could go to those huge neighborhood garage sales in Houston. You could get some nice stuff at a very good price.

I went recently to a big one in SA a couple years ago and it was mostly junk. There were a few decent things but I think most of the good stuff gets sold on facebook and online sites. It was mostly stuff catering to the mexican people.

Good items for a yard sale are kids clothes, toys, baby beds, play pens, household appliances that you no longer use,

Those are exactly the things I look for from the road. If they're present, I don't stop.

Absolutely. Lots of clothes is always a hard pass.

I have a nice golf bag I've had for years that was expensive at the time and I paid like $50, brand new, in the plastic. Guy said his wife bought it for him for like fatgers day or some thing but he already had one he liked. I have several garage sale golf clubs also. Hunting stuff is another good one at garage sales. People lose leases or have kids or just get things as gifts they dont want.

Lots of fishing tackle at garage sales here. I got a pretty nice 4 piece fly rod with reel and line for $5. Grandson is using it to learn how to fly fish.

I've been to 2 garage sales, 1st one bought an Avon raft for $100 sold it 10 years later for $250. The other one bought a troybilt chipper $50 (didn't run) put gas in it and sold it $400 only needed fuel!

Here's my two creeps in the San Juan Islands putting around the giant yachts at Roche Harbor WA. Fantastic place, we got our $$ out of that raft.

I did some logging at the Roche Harbor watershed....... 43 years ago. Some mighty impressive yachts pull in there.

Absolutely, some with helicopters on deck! Some with crews of 10 plus. Amazing!
