Lunch Break Finds 8/15/2013

Greetings!

Found a few items today. Might have overpaid a bit but I was itching to buy:

Vintage Model 1931 Rolls Royce Antique Car Radio - Made in Hong Kong - $2.50



Tales from the Crypt Crypt Keeper by Ace - FREE


Hand Made Knife from the 1960s with skeleton in handle - $2.50



Aqua-Lung US Divers Rocket Fins - $5 



Again - nothing too spectacular ... Every sale can't be a complete winner so don't get discouraged!

Paid $10 - Hoping to get around $100 for these items.

Happy Hunting!

Garage Sale Finds for 8/9/2013

Greetings!

Not a very successful run over my lunch break, but something is better than nothing I guess.

Disney's The Little Mermaid Large Metal Tin. Paid 25 cents.
Heavy Red Wing Work Boots - $3 (the girl at the sale said the paint is a kind that can wash off - we'll see). I always like to keep my eye out for Red Wings and Dr. Martens at sales. They both seem to do well. If you think I'm crazy for getting these boots ... do a quick eBay search for Red Wing boots and you will be shocked and amazed at how much they sell for.


Paid: $3.25
Hoping to make: $100 - $130

Happy Hunting!

Greetings!

It's important to have excellent jams when you are out hunting ...



Here are my garage sales finds from today:

Casco Bay Fins/Flippers by LL Bean - $3
Chuck Oberstein Clown Oil Paintings - not sure if these are oil paintings, lithographs or prints. $3
These 3 Antique Lyre Back Chairs were on the curb for free. Scooped them up and might try to sell them on craigslist or local pickup on ebay. They need repair but are still cool.
This Toledo Arms Sword was at a sale for $50. I asked what there lowest offer would be ... they said $25.  I normally don't spend that much on garage sale items ... but it was a pretty cool sword. Paid $25
Vintage Roadmaster Tricycle with bell - $4
Bought a lamp for my house and I'm going to keep the lamplight farms oil lamp as well. Will sell the horoscope globe. $2 lamp, $4 oil lamp, 50 cents for the globe (globe needs some work).

Amber Hilex Jar - Duraglas $1
Vintage Mirro Tin and two other tins for $5

Vintage Tin 'chest' - made in West Germany $2

Vintage Electric Razor Schik $1
2 military jackets with some patches on them - $1
Old Rex Tool - $2
2 old hanging planter hinges - free

Vintage Halloween stuff 55 cents


I spent a lot more on some of these items than I probably should've ... but I was having some rough luck today.

Total Spent: $53.05

On a good day I'd like to see all of these go for $350 - $500 ... not sure what some of this stuff is worth yet.  Wish me luck!

Happy Hunting!
