My husband and I don't attend lots of yard sales. But, we do find really cheap, good quality stuff at second hand shops, thrift stores, pawn shops, etc. Some of the stuff is brand new. A month ago, we picked up a small color tv/vcr combo for $25 and later a big color tv for less than $60. I've gotten practically brand new, name brand kids clothes and baby clothes for a buck each. Tons of toys and dolls for pennies on the dollar. And, even a slightly used Gateway computer for about $150. What's your best pawn shop deal for the month.

When I was a teenager, way back when, I found a rattan or wicker headboard and I really wanted it and a guy sold it to me for a $1.00!! I was thrilled. It was a light blue color and I spray painted it white. I loved that head board and the best deal I ever got.

Aside from the baby clothes that are new and marked 1/2 off=.50 lol, I did find a Dooney & Bourke leather purse for 19.00. I'm not into name brands, I really liked the purse, real soft leather. I vaguely remembered my daughter mentioning the name, so on an impulse I bought it. My daughter freaked when I told her it was 19., said it was worth a couple hundred lol. I tried searching around, and found one similar on ebay-guess it's an older rare one too. It was used, but in excellent condition.
