ran out of space and $

[jerseyben]

So on Saturday I hit a popular town wide yard sale that I have hit many times in the past. It has always been the best sale of the year and this year did not disappoint. Went with my good buddy Ryan, as usual, and we hit about 100 sales all together.

Ended up FILLING UP my car AND running out of money simultaneously. Here are my scores:


-over 400 LPs from 2 different collections - $105
-bag of jewelry (about 70 individual pieces) - $30 *ended up with a handful of 925 and a pair of 18k earrings from this lot*
-3 pieces of artwork - 2 were included with the records and the big print was $3
-scrap desktop PC - $2
-older but working sylvania netbook - free
-3 antique rug beaters - $10 for all
-bag of vintage video games including game boy advance, game boy advance sp, game cube, all accessories, and like 8 gamecube games - $10
-older Underwood typewriter - $10
-a few other odds and ends not worth mentioning... a few bucks

Already found a treasure trove in the LPs. The vintage video games are actually worth a pretty decent amount. Not too sure on the typewriter or rug beaters. The large print will be hung in my living room. Overall a great day.

Here's a pretty good guide on buying old typewriters - Buying a Typewriter: What You Need to Know.

Alot of people sell the letter keys for good money - alot lighter on the shipping.
