Today we went to a yard sale at a church, I walked away with a very old book with engravings in it and a
Westinghouse Roaster that is in excellent condition, for 25 cents, and a huge box of t-shirts....
My total damage today was 3.00 they were closing down and told me to go ahead and take the shirts that I wanted, I got over 30 shirts that were just given to me, my kids have NO excuse now to say they don't have any shirts.
So for a yard sale, I'm talking I walked away telling my son, who broke my last roasting oven, that if we kept this, he owed me the 5.00 price tag it hand on it, as a finders fee, for saving him from buying me one on ebay, and paying shipping charges.
I know these are energy hogs, but I love them as they are bigger and solidly built (until your 14 year old son breaks it).
Tell me about your greatest deal yard sale or retail bargain!Mooch

Hi dear, I have not really bought in the yard sal but i sold one printer in a yar sale and it was a good Brother printer, all-in-one and almost new, I bought it by 89$and it was sold by only a $30. It was a good deal for the person who bought it. The retail sale I have attempted many and recently here, n Uk I bought 3 sweater each at 1 GBP but it was not any pound store lke dollar store, its a big departmental store called "Primark" and they always have a very good sale almost all the time, but i have found the best one in the begining of spring, that wa great and i bought a leather tote bag for a pound again that ws just onderful. I love buying nice things on sale. I visited many yard sale though

A baseball card of rookie Mickey Mantle ......I paid 50 cents ....
1954 Bowman Mickey Mantle Rookie Card

Baseball card price guide website www.cardpricer.com says that the card should go for between $125 and $3,800. Obviously the $3800 is going to be nicer than a 125 card. SGC cards go for much less (although that is probably the best company) and Beckett (BGS/BVG/BVCG) and Global Authenticators (GAI) go for approximately $150 to $4,800 dollars.

I AM NOT SELLING so value not a big deal to me

Morning, friend. It is really a very good bargain though. It is the same here when the shops are going to sell new clothes for the present season, they will just sell the clothes for the previous season cheap. Some are very cheap, less than the price the garments used to be. Just last summer I got a very good bargain. I bought some T-shirts with very good price and this year I started to wear them. It seems to be a good idea to buy stuff in the wrong season for they are cheap this way.

Well this really doesn't have to do with a yard sale..they really don't have many in my neck of the woods..uh, city...LOL...so this has to do more with a bargain I found on e-bay, not only a bargain, per se, but had real sentimental value....My great-grandmother had gotten one of those Caro Mustard Seed Brooch Pendants--this became first popular around the 1960s...it was actually an idea and concept that Norman Vincent Peale came up with in long the lines of that saying..."If ye have faith of a grain of mustard seed nothing is impossible" Paraphrasing here...I've been in possession of that pendant and have worn it for years and years...To my horror one day I noticed that the "seed" in it had totally disintergrated...well gee, no wonder it is old. I really felt bad about that, as first of all it is one of the few things left that belonged to my great-grandmother...Then one day, out of the blue a voice said...check the websites...there HAS to be something similar...well yes, they did have but they weren't similar and I couldn't believe the prices..some were over $40.00!! So then that little pesky voice said..check e-bay...so I did..I
couldn't believe it...among some of the others that were being auctioned off, one auctioneer had the EXACT same one!! The bid was up to only $2.00..so you better believe I bid on it...AND I WON it!! The total cost with shipping was just a little over $6.00---so now I'm the proud owner of a twin of the original brooch pendant that had belonged to my great-grandmother...now for me that was a bargain

The best bargain I've ever found is this turquoise sweat jacket that was at Walmart on the rack by the fitting rooms. I was waiting for someone while they tried something on and just happened to look at the rack and to pass time I looked at what they had not knowing it was a sale rack and pulled out the sweat jacket and gasp, it was for $1.!! and it was in my size so I bought it on the spot. Brand spanking new too.

I just recently got a laptop for $200 dollars. That is only because I was given a $1000 cheque to be used for educational purposes as part of a scholarship program that I am on. Still it is a bargain for a very good laptop too. Couldn't be happier with the deal.

I love a good deal. My last good deal was my motorcycle. It's a 1982 Honda CM450 Hondamatic. That's right, no clutch. 850.00 bucks. Great condition, low miles. I've already saved money on insurance, and gasoline is cheap, cheap, cheap, 5.00 a fill up. My truck was costing me 120.00 a fill up. I encourage everyone when possible, sell your cars and buy a motorcycle. You'll save a ton of money.

Hi there - nice to see your post on bargains here! I LOVE a good bargain, just like my mother. She was a packrat, and I'm afraid I picked up that trait big time. The only thing wrong with being a packrat is that I end up with too much stuff crowding the little bit of space I have to live in at this time in my life. I have plans to sell many, many items on ebay, and have had these plans for months. I hope that I am able to get where I want to go with regards to selling all of my extra stuff online! WE shall see.

Anyway, some bargains that I've gotten over the years include: an antique curio cabinet for sixty bucks at an auction; a california king size waterbed (which I have parts of but not the water part anymore); an antique chewing gum tin worth thirty bucks on ebay FULL of costume jewelry and random charms and other such stuff for THREE DOLLARS; and many, many more things that I am having a hard time remembering at the moment. But believe me, I am a bargain hunter and I've gotten so many good things for little money over the years. this is a really good skill to have - because I am poor and it comes in handy!

I was at an auction and bought a two piece hutch, butlers table, side table, diningroom table, six chairs, two captains chairs, china cabinet, two curio cabinets and two corner curio cabinets for just under two hundred dollars!!!
I was so happy I just about danced all the way home.
I still can't beleive the luck I had.
I should have bought a lottery ticket that day. lol
When they got delivered I looked them over "with a fine tooth comb" and there was NO damage. Susan
