Yard Sale A Go-Go '08

We've been hitting yard sales over the last few Saturdays. If I still had a digital camera, I would have taken pictures of all the crap - I mean good stuff, we got. Last Saturday ,Natalie, Matthew and I hit a few in the immediate neighborhood. We also went to a flea market at Bel-Garden BiRite. I bought:

• A Sony Boom Box - $1.00 ( A little dual cassette in very good condition. Sound is just OK but it's alright as a replacement for the one we had in the bedroom that broke).
  
• 2-Quart Rival Crockpot, new in box, never used - $3.00
• A carafe that matches the one we have (Made In West Germany) - $1.00
• Package of Card Stock - $4.00
• Ice Cream Scoop - Free

The weekend of Tom's Birthday we went to flea markets at Putty Hill and St.John's Church. I bought:

• DVDs American Psycho and Independence Day - $3.00
  
• VHS tapes - Species 1 & 2, Lord of Illusion - .50 each
  
• CDs - Oasis "What's The Story Morning Glory" and Butthole Surfers "Electric Larryland" - $1.00 each
  
• Scrapbooking book and 1/2 dozen Scrapbooking Magazines - .50
  
• Package of 8x8 Scrapbooking paper with 350 punch outs - $3.00
  
• Box of watercolor paint
• Green Orioles Hat

I actually made out pretty good at yard sales and flea markets this year. I didn't get a lot of useless stuff. Some of the best bargains:

• A brand new Epson Scanner, unopened, for $2.00
• An old style Mr.Coffee that was obviously hardly used, for .50 (1/2 price off it's $1 sticker)
• A computer tool kit that was missing a part that I already had - $1.00
  
• A whole brown paper bag of stuff at a church flea market - $1.00
• An adjustable arm lamp with a magnifying lens - $1.00
  
• Lots of other stuff that I can't remember offhand (And that's not counting what Natalie and Matthew bought).
