Apple valley has there big sales this weekend lots of nice stuff there and lots of fishing gear since it's built around a lake. Just gave my wife 150 bucks if she found anything we couldn't live with out. I have a feeling I'll have a bunch of kids clothes at the house when I get home.she don't like going with me because if there asking a quarter for something I'll offer them 10 cents. It embarrasses her.
That's half the fun....jewing them down into your court. My best was a Barnett Crossbow. Didn't want it until the kid said "I'll take 13.00 for that bow" SOLD. Put a 10.00 scope on it and sold it on ebay for 197.00
My idea of hot deals are items that attract your interest but are also very usable. A simple example is a vintage guitar that has collector value and some you can strum and make music even if you don't know howq to play. Of course I have an interest in guns but its because of the fun you can have shooting targets or hunting with. I did spot a Marlin .444 today at the Rogers "Mall" but the guy wanted $850 uck.
I did see some atlas mason jars today with clamp on lids for $3 each but other than being a decoration, you really would not use them for canning unless you were the bearded amish.

My best score at a flea market was an old heddon fishing lure, never used in box, paid like $3 for it, sold on ebay for $115 + shipping.

Well i bought these for $30 at yardsale yeterday. Great deal. I got home as i was taking the cd player out i installed the new one out of the box, I was looking for usb port and bluetooth on the new cd player and wasnt able to find out. Come to find out that new cd player wasnt the same model as it showed on the box, fugg me, lol. How did i not see that . That fugging guy should have said Something about it. Lucky fugger got away with $15. Thats okay i needed to get rid of my old one anyway.
After thinking about it, i said to my BIL, let me see my Harley helmet. Son of a bitch...I'll be damn. The helmet wasnt a harley, its a gmaxx. But thats okay as long as its got a dot on it im good, whatever, thay fuggin guy. Im gonna pay a little attention next time, lol.
Deceptive practices... Turn him into the garage sale police!!!!
Ehh 30 bucks, seems like you still made out ok...

I love garage sales but I usually end up buying junk that I should immediately put in a garage sale. Lol
Last week I bought a metal gremlins lunchbox for $5. Don't ask me wtf I'm going to do with but it was a good buy! I'm always looking for tools and outdoors stuff but I get distracted and buy stuff like that instead.

Haha! Maybe I'll do that...
I actually bought a hulk lunchbox at a garage sale a couple years ago but it was $20. At the time I looked it up on eBay and there were a bunch of them but in the condition like the one I had they were selling for about $20. Some were over 100 bucks. I had lunch boxes like that in the 80s so they always get my attention.
