A general discussion of collecting cool things, such as vintage and modern toys, comic books, ephemera.
The weather has not been cooperating for the yard sale season around here. Once again, the clouds were threatening all morning on Saturday, and I think it kept a lot of people from participating in the neighborhood sales I hit. I did manage to find a few items–the voice-changing Darth Vader helmet was a fun [...]
Saturday morning was dark and stormy, but that didn’t stop me from from trying to find a yard sale or two. The sales were sparse and many of the people who had advertised, got scared off by the impending doom that the dark clouds were threatening. At a church sale I visited, only two people [...]
I think EVERY neighborhood in northern Virginia was having a community yard sale this past weekend. I had to rush through our neighborhood, and then hit a local comic book shop for Free Comic Book Day on our way to an overnight camping trip. It was exhausting but fun, and here are the treasures I [...]
“This is the most wonderful time of the year…” That’s right, yard sale season is upon us here in the mid-Atlantic region. This past Saturday was a slow start, but there was one neighborhood sale not too far away, where I was able to scrounge up a few fun items… This is what I got [...]
A community sale took place just down the road from me on Saturday morning, so I ran out for some quick hunting before I had to take my son to his soccer game. I didn’t find much, but what I did find was precious. Check this out… At the first sale, the homeowner was just [...]
Here’s how I spent $6 this weekend. After a long hot summer, the community yard sales are finally starting to show up again. I went to a large neighborhood sale on Saturday which was great because it was more like a flea market where everyone brought their stuff to one large field and sold stuff [...]
I really thought I was making some major scores while hitting the yard sales yesterday, but when I got home and unloaded the car, I started to get a bad feeling. The day’s hunting was about quantity, not quality, and I’ll be lucky to make my money back–otherwise the kids just got a whole lot [...]
The yard sale gods finally shined down on me this weekend. It’s been tough to find anything really great so far this year, but today the tides turned and I found a great assortment of fun stuff. I went to two large church sales and one yard sale. The church sales are great if you [...]
The yard sales have really been kicking my tail this year. I have yet to make “the find” — most of what I’ve found so far are smaller items that I will probably have to sell in large lots. The past two weekends have been no exception. Here are the “highlights”… This is the meager [...]
Yesterday, our neighborhood held its annual community-wide yard sale, so we didn’t have far to roam to find the goods. Unfortunately, there weren’t many goods to be found. I have always made a “mega score” at this neighborhood sale, but yesterday I got stumped. Sure, there were some fun finds, but nothing too spectacular… A [...]
