Living in Rhode Island I find a lot of tarot card sets. I find them every week at yard sales and flea markets. I have never paid more than $1. I get atleast $10 per set. Last year I bought one for $1 and sold it for $137. Here's some I sold this weekend. I paid 25 cents, 50 cents and $1 for them.

I've sold several sets of Tarot cards in the past. One just recently for $12.99 plus shipping. I buy them when I find them if they are no more than a couple bucks. I actually have 3 or four decks that I need to get listed when I find the bag that they are in.

Just curious...why does being in Rhode Island mean you find a lot of tarot card sets? High psychic per capita ratio? Lol

I stopped today and found this for two dollars. The lady gave me the senior center citizen discount today! I'm only 33 but she said since I was the youngest one in the store she thought it would make everybody else feel better! So it is called tru life Max. A carbon fiber ankle support. They sell for $100! Made my day!!

I won't touch anything medical. Not only is it hard to track what is supplied through health insurance, but the liability issues are just too big.

This last weekend I found a new hand held solitare game. Paid $1. On Amazon the lowest price was $150 used. $179 new. EBay was $50 to $100. Sold today on amazon for $129! Figured I would take the quick sale at the bargain basement 13000% profit.

Not too far from Salem Mass? lol. Of course the witch trials were hundreds of years ago but...

I lived in Tennessee, Georgia and Lousiana I never saw tarot cards there. Here in Rhode Island I find them everyweek.

I'm a little more than an hour from Salem. Its actually a cool historic place to go. I just stay away in October...too many freaks for me.

Thanks for the tip, from a fellow Rhode Islander. I don't remember ever seeing tarot cards at sales, but I haven't been looking either. I will now, thanks! :)

I bought a sterling and turquoise bracelet for 50 cents at a yard sale.
Sold it for $20.00 on eBay.

I'll bet it does attract some whack jobs around the Halloween season. The last time I found like 5 or 6 different decks at the same sale. I paid $20 for the cards and a ceramic pair of Holt-Howard type cat figurines. I sold the cats for $30 and one deck of cards for $12.99 that I already mentioned. That's why the rest of them are stashed away or put to the wayside. Bad habit of mine. By a bunch, sell a few pieces, make a small profit, put the rest on the back burner.

Jeu de tarot is a french card game played with a traditional Tarot Deck. Rhode Island is loaded with French Canadians (I married one). The only tarot deck I ever found was in Massachusetts but near the Rhode Island border.
