I went to 3 estate sales and a few garage sales and it was really the first time this year I've been out garage saling. I picked up some interesting records (a Boston picture disc, Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane and a few other interesting ones), some collectible wheaties cereal boxes, a leather ladies handbag and some large womens shoes that I decided to buy after reading the "fetish" thread talking about cross dressers liking them.
I got overly excited about the records and paid too much for them. The guy selling them was wise to their prices and would not sell them by the box or part with them for the usual $1.00/each. I still thought I could turn a profit on these though so I bought them anyway.
I also found out that its difficult to sell the collectible Wheaties boxes on ebay, there is just too much supply and not enough demand and you basically have to find the really rare old ones for them to even be worth much. I'll probably be able to make my money back, but in all, my spidey sense wasn't very sharp this weekend.
I'm putting together a video about my purchases this weekend. Will post it soon.
