I bought a ton of stuff over the weekend. Stayed local and only went to garage sales, no estates. Most of the stuff I paid a dollar or two for and will sell for $20-$30 or more. I can't complain about that. I bought a few old mini liquor bottles and also thee 4 six packs of miniature bottles. You don't come across them that often. I found a Miller beer 6 pack before so I know they sell well. Anyway I paid $1 each for them. Here they are-

I also found a 1940's Cory-Dru coffee pot at another sale. I actually found the top and the glass filter on Saturday. I went back today and found the pot. It was early and they didn't have everything out on Sat. Paid $2 for the first two pieces and she gave me the bottom portion today for free. It will clean up nice. Good resale value.

Not included is a set of 8 (or 9?) Hummel figurines that I paid $3 each for. Mostly TMK 5's and newer, nothing rare. A 15 inch convex shop mirror with mounting hardware, little old lady tried to say $1, I gave her $10.

Thanks for looking.

Lots of alcohol related items. I usually stick to alcohol related signs. Never considered buying actual booze for resale. Please keep us posted on the results.

I think the beer is in hebrew - pretty cool.

Love the cannon! Trade you two Morgans for a dead albino rat and the cannon carriage?

Ahhh, memories of when I used to bartend in Palm Beach...one moon filled night, the roar of cannon boomed, I took a volley of fire from Courvoisier, Grand Marnier and Grappa. Dazed, I slowly limped into Port Wine where somehow I fought off another nemesis, the Scots whiskey rebellion! Glenmorangie and His clan were determined to finish me...I would have none of that! With help from some allies from the south, Porfidio and Herradura, we saved the port and probably the entire world. Little did I know Jagermeister was waiting for me around the next corner...

Great buys Dig!

Legally, you can't sell alchohol. The lady made me "donate" the money for them, LOL. I don't usually buy alcohol either. Heck, I don't even drink.

I'll take you up on that offer if the rat doesn't sell this week.

You just reminded me...

I was GIVEN FOR FREE a small taxidermy shark at a sale on Saturday. It is pretty dang old and in rough condition. Not sure why anyone would have it mounted because it is so small and the jaws are pathetic.

PS. I dont drink either.

Still laughing my butt off. Have you considered a career as a novelist?
