For now that is...

Went to this garage sale that was listed and seemed average at best, that was until I pulled up to the house.

This place had a detached garage with three out buildings and a couple more temporary car port enclosures. I didn't even think to take pictures at first as it was overwhelming to look at.

Each area was packed to the hilt, I only got a couple quick pictures as I didn't want to upset the owner. The first picture is with the camera held at about 7 feet in the air, the other buildings had at least as much as well as the front yard and other areas were packed, totes everywhere full of junk.

I was there trying to focus and pinpoint the good from the garbage when I started feeling woozy and dazed. I realized my breathing was shallow and I felt weak. Nothing wrong with me at all but the amazing piles of stuff did something to me that hasn't happened before...there's gotta be a name for this! Pickerpackackaphobia?

Preparing for a fresh go tomorrow, including combat boots, couple pairs of gloves, first aid kit, satellite rescue beacon and anything else you folks can recommend?

After leaving this sale I had recovered enough to stop at a couple other sales in the neighborhood. Scored a Versace plate, a cb radio with antennae and about 8 perfect Ralph Lauren shirts already ironed for $1 each.

Duct tape to wrap up your pant legs so no rats or mice run up.

Rats and Snakes are not my concern...Recluse spiders and hoarder therapist are the biggest concerns.

I got so itchy looking at that stuff, I put a flea collar on! Good for ticks too!

Bring a spotter in case a pile falls on you like Darrel has Brandon

Don't forget the DEET. I see mosquito breeding ground in that red tub there. A good flashlight may help too and a dustmask.

That is a sale that I would enjoy.

I flea market and ebay. I could fill a truck with some of that stuff.

Come on by! There is an open invitation from the owner. I didn't get into the good stuff that was there due to rain showers moving in and work getting in the way. Inside the buildings there are billiard lamps and old sign light covers amongst the piles. I need help on this one!!!

Wish that I could.

The sleds and ladder would be my first picks, followed by the wheel barrow. Did I spy a 5 gallon plastic gas can in one of the pics? I'd also buy the orange cone for $1. Again, these would be flea market picks, and not for ebay.

Go get 'em, War!!!
