Up and out a bit earlier today. I was gone by 5:25…went to an estate sale first thing. Got some tools there but not much else…guys sale. Then it was around to neighborhood sale after neighborhood sale after neighborhood sale…I could go on. If the ads in the paper were correct on the number of home I probably hit something around 150 houses today? And I was still home around 12noon! Most of the sales were the baby junk variety that don’t require me to get out at. But there was also some down right good ones!
I got a few pictures today when I was up at or heading to the sales…so you can check that out on my blog if you wish.
All in all a nice fun day…but it sure does wear you out quick…its warm today…about 88-90 now.
picture #1
nose to a row boat $2 It looked kinda cool…should be able to turn a profit at the flea??
vintage wood/wire bird cage $1 to quote the seller “an antique store would get it paint it and put a $150 price tag on it. But I want it gone…$1″ He was my kind of man!
picture #2
Newer tiffany style lamp $5 It was only $5 with no cracked glass…nice metal base…people seem to love these at the fleas.
Sterling Silver $20 for it all I asked about the bigger bowl first (its reed and barton BTW) and was told it was the only piece of real silver he had and wanted 15 for it…okay with me…but I checked the rest and found a few other sterling ones. I asked the price was told 20 for it all. Fine by me…
