I was selling at a flea market today. So no yard sales this morning. I did okay at the flea. Not as much as times past…I’m not sure what I did last year but I think it was around 1,800. This time it was right at 1,400. Still not a bad day. But I wanted to beat last years mark. I got a lot sold. Nothing high priced sold…I took a stack of 50 baggies and used them all (had to go back to my truck around 11 for more). So I sold a ton of little crap. It was a $5 and $10 kind of day. My largest sale of the day was 60 (the Fenton cranberry small hurricane lamp from a few weeks ago). So I got a lot of nice stuff boxed up and ready to go for the next sale!
But just because I didn’t hit any yardsales this morning is not to say I went without! On my way home (after 4pm) I glanced down a street and saw a sale (or at least a very messy yard). No signs up but I went back and was told he was setting up for tomorrow but I was welcome to shop now! I never need encouragement to yardsale shop so I took my time and got a few goodies! He had really good prices.

Group of fishing lures $5 One good one in there…Heddon punkinseed in yellow shore ($50+)…then a few middle of the road lures (20 +/- ea) 2 ccbco pikes, 2 jinx w/box, musky wood jitterbug…and 2 pieces of junk. The punkinseed will have to be pryed out of my cold dead hand…
Very nice way to top off an already successful day!
