finally

After about a two month dry spell with the garage sales, I did pretty decent this past weekend. I ended up with a nice contact that does estate sales, and I got some nice goodies at another sale.

I bought a small lot of beer tap handles for $20. I broke it into 3 lots for E-bay and 2 of the lots are currently at $50 total. The third lot has yet to have a bid, but there are 3 days left on the auction. I also bought a brass elephant cane head for a dollar just because I knew I could get at least $2 for it in scrap brass. That is currently at $10. One more item was a fairly heavy brass valve/gauge that is easily over 2 pounds. I paid a doller for it and it now sets at $15 on e-bay. $22 investment currently at $75 with 3 days to go. It's about time.

My sales that end on Sunday including some software I had setting around that I never use.

Not as good of luck today at the sales. I got some advance Christmas shopping done and found 2 computer towers for $3 each. Oh, and a nice hunk of brass for 50 cents. I think it is close to 2 pounds.

hmmm. Try this one.

yeah, apparently they still use it. Good for me.

Well I went out this morning to get some gas in the car and some rum for watching football this afternoon. I checked Craig's list before I went and jotted down the address of another garage sale that was in the direction I was headed. I ended up getting 3 computer towers and a box with some hard drives, power supplies, a motherboard and a couple CPUs for $20 total. I went on my way and saw another sign for a sale. I get to the house and it was apparently yesterday. They had everything on the curb. I pulled a printer, an air purifier, and bingo, another computer tower. All from the curb. I proceeded to get the rum and the gas and on the way home I saw another sign for a sale. I went to it, and I ended up with 2 boxes of computer parts for $12. There were 3 motherboards, some heat sinks, a couple cpus and a fistfull of RAM along with more power supplies, cords, and an assortment of drives and hard drives.

Glad I volunteered to make the rum run.

I am going to (hopefully) watch Da' Bears beat the Saints.

This link has all games. Just have to put up with their commercials like anything else. We just found it last week.
