Lego Lego Lego

So I am getting another yard sale post up before my Georgia trip but it was a long trip and much happened where as my yard sale trip was…a long…trip and much happened.  Ok so I have no excuse, or shame.

I did however have a very fruitful yard sale day.  I started early and managed to sneak out with just one pygmy, a great beginning.  I hit a few duds at the first couple of stops but it was home runs from there on out. My first purchase was the stools ($5 each) and the shelf ($2).  I desperately needed to replace my bar stools since someone has come along and swiped my other (ehem..hubby) for their work bench area.  I also have something planned for all these shelves I am buying but I’m not exactly sure what yet.

At my next stop I picked up some Dora people and accessories ($15).

We were in one of the more affluent neighborhoods and the lady had the Dora house and a few other accessories but she wanted $50 for all of it.  I politely declined and asked if I could separate just a couple of them for purchase.

She hesitatingly agreed $15.  My next house in same neighborhood was ripe for selling as was I pretty ripe myself by that time.

I think it was near 112 degrees by 9 am.  I was able to practically steal the bin holder, 6-bionicles, 1-bag of legos, 3-Pokemon 23 K gold plated collectors cards, and 4-Diary of a Wimpy kid books all for $7!!!

I ran with the stuff thinking they might change their mind and realize they were giving it away.

My last and mostly unplanned stop was at a storage shed.  It was advertised-

Two completely stacked storage units of teaching stuff- furniture, books, games, manipulatives, toys, and lots of etc. sold by the bag/box or bin. Homeschoolers, stay at home mommies, grandparents and day care centers also welcome. Units will be open from 8 am til 2 pm on Saturday, August 6th. I am also willing to answer questions by phone and can meet you out there other times if necessary.

It seemed like a great find but my problem was well, finding it.  It turned out it was way farther from my house than expected so I almost decided to skip it.  Oh man am I ever glad I didn’t.  It was a spectacular find and I snagged tons of things for super cheap as she was really trying to clear out those storage sheds.

All those lego in that huge bin was only $10!

I also grabbed 2-teaching kits, 1-Hooked on phonics, and a couple of Dr. Seuss books. In total I spent $15 for all of it. The best part, she had only partly taken out one of her storage sheds and she is going to do another sale next week.

In all I was very pleased with myself and have done fairly well with my first Ebay venture.  I will update that when the bidding has closed on Tuesday.  Happy hunting.
