Did some yard sale shopping for eBay Last Weekend

Last weekend I set out early on Saturday morning to hit a couple yard sales in the area and see if I couldn’t find some good buys to be put up on eBay or Amazon. Well, I didn’t have much luck. I only picked up a few books, a game, and a few beanie babies. So, I am hoping the few items that I did get will at least bring me in some money to put more gas in my Jeep.

When I go to yard sales or thrift stores to search for eBay or Amazon items, I usually focus more on books and DVDs. My reasoning for this is because I know I can sell them and I know that if they are not “worth it as a single item” they could be sold in a lot of similar items (a lot of dvds or a lot of books on the same topic).

But I am curious if you guys ever head out to the yard sales and see what you may be able to find? Withing planning for a wedding and also moving in with my Fiance soon, I have been thinking about them more lately as a great way to find deals on things we will need like furniture.

Anyway, just a quick post today about yard sales. Our community is having one this coming weekend and I am going to set up to try to unload some left of products from Valentine’s Day as well as some other stuff for my parents!

Summer Wish List

Written by Chris on July 8, 2006 – 12:03 pm -

*I actually wrote this post a couple weeks back but never got around to posting it, so here it is!*

I was doing a little shopping today and came across some things that I would really like to work hard to be able to purchase this summer. So, I just put together this quick list to remind me of them and also to act as motivation for me to work hard to get them!

1. iPod Nano or Regular (whichever I can find cheaper, probably on eBay) - $150+
2. Window Vent Visors for my Jeep $50
3. Laptop Computer
4. 19 inch LCD Flat Panel Monitor for my computer (for dual monitor set up) $200+
5. DVD player for my apartment
6. Laser Printer $150+
7. Jeep Grille Guard (Brush Guard) $200 - $400

Putting together a list like this of things that you would want to purchase in the near future or on a timeline is a great way to motivate yourself to continue to work hard and achieve your goals!

(Since writing this post the first time around, I have already gotten the Window Vent Visors for the Jeep )
