I stopped at a huge yard sale ,this morning, and made out like a bandit. I picked up a small tool box full of nuts ,washers ,and bolts, plus a tiny swivel ratchet...then a little compact tool kit, then a really cool walking staff {spiraled long ago by some vine, and made of red cedar}last a big old box of mixed junk...it held a challenge coin in a nice case, 10 big boxes of wooden kitchen matches, a gallon zip lock bag of match books from all over, a gt zip lock of small wood matches ,and SEVEN zippo{ish} lighters, from "Big Joe's Smoke Shop...oh, and a handy ,plug-in drop light. Trust me, if anybody asks me for a light, I got em covered. My wife picked large basket of sewing stuff and a pewter dogwood plate, and some cut glass items, and the total damage for us both came to twenty bucks. Sometimes in pays to get up with the sun!

Congrats on the find!
I am at the point in life that I need to make yard sale bundles and make others happy.

Congrats on the find! I am at the point in life that I need to make yard sale bundles and make others happy. You and I both!!! Yet I still stop at them; there's always that one chance that a pipe will jump out at you. One time I snagged a 6 pk pipe rack for five bucks, and as I payed the lady, she turned to her husband and said " weren't there some pipes to go with that? " the poor guy left and came back with three low end pipes ,in real good shape, and when I asked him how much...she spoke up " oh no, they go with the rack "...he just looked kinda sheepish and let'er roll. as we got in the truck, I gave my wife the evil eye and said " don't ever try that crap with me!"....I still have two of those pipes.
