This weeks yard sale finds!

in life •  7 years ago 

Good evening, friends! Who is having an awesome weekend?!

Guilty! We've been hitting sales since Thursday, so 3 days in a row. We're avid yard salers, so we absolutely love it! As they say, one man's trash is another's treasure. I didn't really understand that as a kid, but it makes perfect sense now.

We picked up quite a bit to resale, and have already made more than we spent on everything with TWO things. They were 14k gold necklaces, I suppose the owner didn't know what she had. After sticking a magnet to them to confirm they're real, we pretty much went straight to sell them so we didn't think to take a picture. We spent $2.00 on them and sold them same day for $130. That covered the rest of the items we bought. Including...


A Huskee tiller that's been used once. The best part? It barely needed anything. I did need to order a part for the fuel tank, but i'll tell you about that later. Total price with parts: $42 I expect to atleast double my money.

A Craftsman drill press. It doesn't look like this has even been used, it's just dusty. After a clean up we expect to atleast triple the $30 we spent.

Four new in box 300 watt amplifiers. Seriously, these still have the wrappers with all the papers and wiring harness. Honestly, i'm no car audio expert. I can install it, that's about it. However if we can turn our $5 a piece into $30 a piece, i'll be happy.


While we got these to sell, my wife and I did pick up a few things to keep. We've been wanting a ceiling fan in our room to help combat this Tennessee heat, so we found a like new one for $3, which I will be installing tomorrow. We also picked up a dvd player for $1.

I like the look of the Huskee tiller. Mine (John Deere) broke last year.

It runs great! Bummer!

I'm a picker, too! Following you and upvoted.

That is awesome! I love treasure hunting at yard sales!

Great job finding those awesome deals.

You're good at finding stuff! I hope you make money off of what you found. 😊

I keep meaning to do posts like this, but I never remember to take pics of the items...

I love hitting garage sales and yard sales. Over the weekend I found several bags of superhero action figures, and bought them dirt cheap. I'm now selling them in lots on Ebay! Love picking and reselling!

Very nice!!! How are you liking Ebay? I am considering starting up!
