    Since I discovered ebay, I don't do yard sales anymore. That and craigslist.

    But I've gotten some fabulous things from ebay. I just bought this week a bose brand ipod player (the speakers and a clock radio thingy) for $35. This item retails brand new for $300.

    I only do yard sales if they are local (I can walk to them) otherwise eBay is my friend (as well as OZtion and EMC Classifieds).

    I'll even give Cash Converters a go or the local pawn brokers as there can be some good priced items (haggle!!) there.

    I got an awesome antique sewing desk that I love a lot for about 20 bucks. Unfortunately it lives in the basement of the new house because it doesn't match the modern look we have now.

    I've gotten all kinds of designer clothes. New Abercrombie tees for $2. A new Coach purse for $25. I do ebay and craigslist too and I found yo get much better deals at yard sales but they're also much more time consuming to go to.

    A first edition of "The Outsiders" signed by the author herself. It was in very, very good condition. I still have it, and it is still one of my favorite novels.

    I discovered that my small town used to have it's own swinging/adult friend finder publication that was hidden in a ton of comics I got.

    EWWIE.

    NO ONE TRIMMED ANYTHING here in the 70/80s It's amazing I don't have baby pics of me in onsies covered in short hairs after a day of crawling.

    I got my electric vegetable steamer at a yard sale for $5. I've used it at least twice a week (sometimes every day) for several years now, and it's still going strong. I love it.

    I was redoing my living room Asian style and we came across a painting. I wanted to change the frame and when we took off the back there is a certificate for an origonal 13th century clay painting. Needless to say it's hanging on my wall with the same frame. I keep meaning to get it appraised but haven't gotten around to it.

    This hunt coat for ten bucks. I'm in the middle.



    Fit way better than the ~$70 one I was currently using and there are certainly some that cost hundreds.

    I got Chasing Amy, Clerks and Mallrats posters autographed by Kevin Smith for free. The house had been repossesed and the rehabbers were giving away all the family's stuff.

    Come to my house. My in-laws were antique dealers who found most of their treasures at yard sales and flea markets. I've got a house full of antiques from them!!
