<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Brywil1970, post: 261268, member: 92&quot;]I am an avid thrift store and garage sale early bird.&nbsp; At thrift stores I bought a Herman Miller Eames chair and ottaman (early one rosewood and leather) for $10, a Paola Pillin vase for $2.99, and used to buy about $800 of gold jewelry (scrap price) a week.&nbsp; I buy lots of mid century furniture at garage sales worth $800 to $900 a piece for pennies on the dollar.&nbsp; The best single piece profit wise was a Roseville Azurine vase for $6 at a garage sale.&nbsp; Just went to a garage sale Friday it was raining so I took a chance on a local barn sale which started at 9:30 and said in the add no early birds.&nbsp; Pulled in around 9:00 because there were no other sales expecting to wait.&nbsp; There were like 6 cars parked by the barn and the door was open so I walked up. All the cars were the sisters and they really were not open but let me look.&nbsp; Lighting was horrible so I had to use my phone for a flashlight but I had 30 minutes scouring the barn.&nbsp; Nothing on it own was spectacular but bought and old wooden tripod, old prune box turned in foot stool, some old tin cars, and a Roseville hanging vase dirty but in good condition, but there was a box of misc. jewelry I got to go through first.&nbsp; Jewelry was marked .50 each so since the lighting was bad I grabbed everything that looked decent.&nbsp; Spent $29 dollars got over $300 scrap value of gold including a men&#039;s 1959 class ring weighing over 8dwt by itself.&nbsp; Lots of gold filled antique jewelry and some sterling jewelry.&nbsp; That was my only really good day garage saling this month[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
