On the rare occasion I find something good they always want more than a brand freaking new one. I quit selling at yard sales too. Ask $20 for something worth $100, and folks want it for 50¢. |

Awesome. Most people would not know what it is. It takes an agile mind
to find stuff like that. i On 2012-08-25, Steve B wrote: Mint in box ...... one ......... 1969 Mustang Mach 1 pop-open gas cover, with inner gas cap, spring, gaskets, and Mustang emblem, plus all screws and accessories in Ford factory box. $7 Up to $250 on ebay.

Ask $20 for something worth $100, and folks want it for 50¢. Wonderful. More for me. I'm going to start "Pickin" the local ones. I just look for "home runs", and here in smaller town America, there is a good chance to pick up on people's "junk" that does very nicely on ebay to the city slickers. I might even start doing "cleanouts", where I'll go in, and clean out a garage or attic for free, and I get to keep everything. Some people want that so they don't have to deal with Aunt Martha's "stuff". I just listed the gas cap. Will see what it brings. The kit is $160 from a retailer. Steve |

I rarely go to garage sales anymore, also, but for a different reason. I need to get stuff on a bigger scale, I prefer at least one truckload of stuff at a time. This is not always possible, of course, but I try to aim for that, and going to garage sales is not as economical. There is always something to list and fill my time from a few last big purchases, it is a better use of time than garage sales. But I always have a special place in my heart for garage sales, and I agree that great deals abound. You just need to be able to notice them. i |

On the rare occasion I find something good they always want more than a brand freaking new one. I quit selling at yard sales too. Ask $20 for something worth $100, and folks want it for 50¢. Sounds like someone doesn't know about haggling, or making a bargain. You must live in a ritzy snobbish area. Around here...stuff can be had quite reasonable. There are folks of course who try to peddle something for Walmart + 20%. They don't sell anything. In a couple weeks, the prices come down. Yard sales as a means to "get stuff out of here" are one thing. As a means to "raise the money for the rent" - another thing. -- pyotr Go not to the Net for answers, for it will tell you Yes and no. And you are a bloody fool, only an ignorant cretin would even ask the question, forty two, 47, the second door, and how many blonde lawyers does it take to change a lightbulb. |

Nice find! My best yard sale to ebay score was a kick starter mechanism that replaces the rope pull starter on Briggs type engines. Paid $1 for it. Some time later, saw one on eBay, pristine NOS condition in original box, sell for over $500. Whoa. So I cleaned mine up best I could and listed it. Was rather happy with the $250 or so I got for it. Best yard sale score ever was the set of Anton high precision thick parallels for $20. New retail is over a grand. I'm keeping those! Jon |
