Do you go to Garage Sales?

[VoldtaEngler]

I love them. And storage auctions.
My recent find was a G4 Mac (working!) for $7.00, and some StageFX and Anne Rice hardcover books for the wifey for 50 cents each.
What was your best garage sale deal??

[EasyRider]

An original printing of Tales of Mystery and Imagination by Edgar Allan Poe for a quarter - worth several hundred dollars.

i've gotten tones of books (nothing really worth a lot of money or rare, but still a lot cheaper than buying it in a book store)

some old guitar stomp boxes (early 70s Big Muff!)

Almost all of my furniture comes from getting stuff on the street the night before junk pickup day.

You reminded me that I forgot to mention my purchase of The Lost Boys soundtrack on vinyl for 50cents. Never used!

when i was underage garage sales were the best place to get tittie mags

i get heaps of books and clothes from them now

[Sporkman]

i cant go past a good garage sale!

i have also found that police actions are a great place for cheap stuff, especially push bikes..

best thing i picked up was probably a concrete dragon statue for $20 (about 60 cm tall.. works out to 24 inches? i dunno..)

[mmmcherry]

hey who shops on craigslist.org? im not sure if its just a canadian/american thing, but its way cool.. its like ebay, but local, so no shipping fees, you just go pick the shit up or drop it off heh... its great!!

[CrushCuties]

I love garage sales and craigslist!

I got allot of my studio props on craigslist, and if I see a big garage sale I have to stop and check it out!

The kewlest/Scariest thing was the book I bought at a garage sale, and later found out that the book was about my uncle.



According to "The Last Mafioso," a biography by Ovid DeMaris, Altadena James Fratianno (AKA Jimmy "The Weasel") was born in 1913 in a small Italian town near Naples. When he was four months old, his parents emigrated to the United States, to Cleveland's Little Italy.
