Last year I noticed that the quality of the stuff available at local
garage sales declined. This year the number of garage sales is down
also. And I mean down! Whereas last year this time we would go to
10-12 events each Saturday, this year we are lucky if we see 5 or 6.


Yard sales are down in Vegas from a year ago, and the quality and quantity
of merchandise is down, too. *You just have to shop carefully to find the
jewels.


I did make a nice score Saturday, $310 worth of home beer brewing equipment
for $20. *Not metal related, but definitely shop gear................

True...but one must know where to seek. ;)

Ig...you live in the Land of Milk and Honey (surplus wise) with both
industrial and military surplus spilling out on to the streets.

Or at least that my take on why your streets and roads are so darn
rough. ;))

That is why every time I fly into Chicago on business, I travel with
an empty suitcase...to bring the goodies home. The rest are shipped by
UPS who usually has it on the driveway be the time I get back.
