Sweet find.
Deal |
Live free or die.
Plain and simple.
"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."

| Same in my town. Hit a ton of sales. Nothing but trash you'd see in a landfill. |

| Yeah, I hardly ever find jewelry at yard sales. I just so happened that I had to work over the weekend and I had to go out of town a little ways up into a small town out in the sticks. While out there I happen to check the "Huge Sales" that were going on and happened to score this time. |

Great find. Gotta love yard sales. I always go to Church Sales. They want to get rid of the stuff and are willing to let you haggle. I've found a thin gold necklace, 2 little 14k gold charms, 2 14k gold rings. Prices ranged anywhere from 10 cents to 25 cents.
It always pays to look you never know what you are going to run into. In all the junk, there may be a treasure. |

I was at a yard sale several months ago (looking for coins...DUH!  ) and I overheard the hosts discussing pennies and "the older ones being worth more because of the metal in them". Well I couldn't just leave without putting in my you-know-what. We had a nice chat, and then I went on my way (without any coins to show for my time but the knowledge that people ARE catching on). Time is running out....Just Sort More!!! |
