Hey everyone! So I figured I'd save this to post mid week, it seems like we get a bit of a lull on wednesday or thursday, so I saved my weekend post for now so y'all have something new to look at. This was my second weekend out, and it was great! Here's the breakdown:
Saturday I went out on my bike. I wasn't intending to go yardsaling, the post office near me was closed so I had to bike a ways to the next closest one. I had to bike through some not so great neighborhoods, (which I'm very used to, this is Baltimore) and on the way back I run across a yard sale! And, it held up to the two standards that made it perfect for re-sellers: It was completely unadvertised, and in a not so great neighborhood. I've discovered that if a sale, thrift or yardsale, has one of these characteristics then it is probably going to be good. Turns out, I was right! I stopped by and grabbed the following:
A new in box Thule Bike rack, $10
A classic Craftsman Steel tool box, full of tools (including a couple Snap-On screwdrivers, $$$!) for $5
A pair of Air Jordan III Stealths, excellent condition ($75 on a bad day, NIB I could sell them for $200+) for $2
Brand new pair of timberland trail hiking shoes, $2
2 vintage closed handle pyrex measuring cups, 1 and 2 cup (apparently they are fairly sought after! 2 Vintage Pyrex Liquid Measuring Cups 1 2 Cup Closed Handle Red 508 516 | eBay Mine are in much better shape) total 75 cents
a Huge wool blanket for myself (my house is freezing cold in the winter) for $1
Needless to say, I had a hard time getting all of that home on my bike, but I made it!
Then, on sunday, I went back to the place I went last weekend and picked up the following, for a total of $30:
Vintage Schlitz pitcher and 6 matching pabst glasses (love the breweriana!)
2 Vintage Baltimore Colts 1970 Champs glasses (VERY desireable, especially in Baltimore, read about it here if you're interested Baltimore Colts relocation to Indianapolis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )
Random J&B Scotch decanter (why not?)
A super cool Commemorative Masonic Plate from 1959, looks like it has a piece of Jade inlay!
Awesome travel size Garod AM radio, works great!
Old Zenith WaveMagnet Suitcase Radio from the 40's-50's I think, Isn't much to look at but it works like a charm! The guts are probably great for a restorer, who knows.
An old Bulova Clock radio, probably 60's also works great!
a gold, silver, and diamond test kit
a WWII Good Conduct Medal, unengraved
An old GE wrench for replacing Radio tubes
A lone 8-ball (for the fun of it, who doesn't want to own an 8-ball?)
Aladdin Platinum Edition DVD
7 Rigid Pipe Wrenches
Assorted Lesneys and Tootsietoys
3 Pyrex Amish Butterprint Fridge dishes w/ lids
Chromat-o-scope with box (no idea what it's for, but too cool to pass up)
(Not pictured is a box of buttons, more pins, an 8x8 Pyrex baking pan, a measuring tape, a 1937 english penny, and probably some other stuff I'm forgetting)
Overall it was another great weekend, thanks for looking!
