A Great Adventure at an Estate Sale

Tweet

I had so much fun at an estate sale this week. I have stopped going to yard sales to find stuff to sell on eBay, unless it's a multi-family yard sale or a church yard sale. With gas costing so much, it doesn't make sense to go to individual yard sales right now. So I have been trying to ht more estate sales because people are selling all the contents of their house at those and there is much more of a variety of stuff to go through. There was an estate sale near me that started on Friday and was supposed to end on Monday. I went on Monday because I heard there was still lots of stuff left. Things were marked down to 25% that day. But I only had 1 hour to send there and this was a 4-bedroom house that was about 4,000 square feet! I was ready to check out but didn't have time to wait in line. I heard that the sale was going to be extended until Tuesday. So I asked the person running the sale if she could save the items for me that I had already picked out, and come back the next day. She said yes. I know her because I have gone to many of her sales before. So the next day I went back to pay for my items and look around a bit more. On that day she told me everything except the furniture was 50% off. Be still my heart! So I spent another hour going through the whole house again. I was mostly looking for men's and women's clothing but never pass up the chance to find more treasures. I spent $138!!! All on things I am going to resell on eBay. Oh my goodness, I have never spent that much on one eBay shopping trip before. Here is what I got: 9 Men's Pendelton button-down shirts 1 brand new Tommy Hilfiger tie that still has the tags on it 1 pair of LL Bean Men's cargo shorts, new and still in the package 1 Men's Master's golf windbreaker 1 Men's The North Face fleece jacket 1 Men's vintage Atlanta Olympics windbreaker trainer jacket 1 pair of Men's Ralph Lauren leather sneakers 1 Women's Talbots sweater, new with tags on it 1 Women's Ralph Lauren flannel nightshirt 1 pair of Women's Polo Ralph Lauren tennis shoes Certain things I have high hopes for, and others will be just to have new stuff to list as the more items I can list the more my items will show up front and center in searches when people are looking for things. I am quite excited and plan on listing and selling lots of items on eBay during the upcoming Memorial Day weekend. Do you have plans for the upcoming weekend?
