    Hi,
    I am soooooooooooo miserable. A friend called and said she was at a yardsale around the block from me, she said there is a lot of old stuff that you like. She was going to the farmers market. I flew up to the sale. I did not know where to look first there was stuff all over the house. There was a set of Stangl Magnolia service for 10 and all the serving pieces for 75 dollars. There had to be 50 pieces of Heisey Chintz 3-5 dollars each. Lenox vases 4 dollars each (the old stuff) lenox Christmas ornaments 1 buck each. Boxes and boxes of 30s/40s/50s glass Christmas ornaments, that was in the living room at 25 cents a box. I only had 60 dollars in my wallet. It was 12:30 and they were closing at 1:00. The dining room was filled with old kitchen utensils and pots and pans. The back porch had all kinds of stuff but I grabbed a Jardenier and stand and asked how much 10 dollars SOLD. I bought 15 souvnier spoons for 2 bucks 11 of them are sterling. I bought 8 pieces of Nippon for 20 bucks. I bought 7 pieces of unusual Stangl for 3 bucks
    Any way I spent 60 dollars in 8 mins. It took 20 mins to haul the stuff out to my car. I could have spent another 100 but alas. They were locking up the house. They did not know when they were going back. I left them my number. I promised to buy the Stangl and the Christmas stuff. I need to catch my breath. I am pretty sure of all the stuff I bought I know what it is except for the Jardenier. I will put that in the finds.

    I have been there when I bought the fence yesterday luckily I was able to write a check to a couple of dealers. I bought the 72 pieces of fence, 40 pieces of vintage industrial pullys, and three green metal and brass industrial card files, I only had a hundred I pulled out of my ATM and was only able to pull $180 more out because of daily limit and fees so I had to write a couple of checks. One thing I learned is I need to start carrying more money because I have missed some great deals

    Maybe they will box up all the unsold and take it to the municipal dump?

    Hi,
    I have the feeling that they will box it up and put in a storage place until the 4th month bill comes around and then they will desert it. It will go on "Storage Wars"
