First great day of garage/yard sales this summer. [View all]

Hit the road at 7:45 AM and picked a direction and looked for signs.
First stop I got a really nice small cast iron garden pump for 50 cents,a 1969 Sears/Coleman lantern for a buck. I’ll put $35 on each. Total, with 4 other items came to $3.75. Up until that point I didn’t haggle at all, I hate to do that dance. When they gave me the total I said “I’m not coming down, will you take $4.00.” We all had a good laugh and I gave them 4 ones.
All together, I stopped at 10 sales and bough stuff at 6 of them. My van was getting full and I went home for some breakfast.
Still smiling.
