Yard Sales, Thrift Stores and Flea Markets

[RCMerchant]

All of em!
Hell-when I was younger-I dug threw junk yards!!!

I found some of the coolest stufff I own at yards sales.

Some body sold me an original Monopoly game from the 1930's for $1! With the little wooden houses-all the pieces too!
Old paperbacks,books,records,vhs tapes,oddball knick knacks, furniture...ok-most every thing I own.

Ebay is good for old mags-but the thrill of the hunt-of stumbling on an old farmer having a barn sale with a box of old comic books....joy!

I have, at times, made a point of going out early on a Saturday, with the garage sale list from the paper. Haven't done that in a while, but I still check out things like church rummage sales when I see them. Mostly, I look for electronics - stereos, speakers, computer stuff. Things I can tinker with, adapt or use for parts. Also books and tools.

Probably the best deal I've found in the last couple of years was an old 100lb propane tank for $5. A simple change of fittings, and I had a major tank upgrade for my air compressor.
