Tip:
If you come across a dozen of something, don't just buy 6.

I heard antique dildos are a big ebay seller....better take some Germ-X with you.

Careful on the dildo thing. I thought I'd make a killing on a big plaid one I found at a yard sale. Got it home and found out it was a Thermos.

That rat there is funny.

True dat thump, but what did you find on your hunt?

Found some pretty cool items actually ... may post a few pics when I get caught up. But the main thing is, I just entered the 21st century. We bought new tv's when we bought this house in 1989 ... and we're STILL watching those same tv's! The one in the master bedroom just started taking a dump, so I bought a 40" Samsung flat-screen at an estate sale this morning for $175.00. According to the grand daughter, someone recently came out to "install" the tv for her grandmother, but she never watched the thing because she couldn't figure out how to work the remote.

It looks brand new and all the books and papers were still in the sealed plastic bags in the entertainment center drawer. So, I have a nice, new flat screen now ... and am still on basic cable.
