What's everybody been getting lately in garage sales, or what have you been selling there ?

( 2. ) big portable cooler for lunches or beer on trips - not styrofoam. $1
( 3. ) 2 large oil paintings ( I can keep them or use the canvas ) $3
( 4. ) leather traveling satchel $1
( 5. ) Joe the plumber's extendable toilet snake and kitchen sink snake $15
( 6. ) Stack of "Outside" magazines - free
( 7. ) I foolishly bought two computer keyboards without USB connectivity -$3
( 8. ) Stack of floor tiles to use for art - free
( 9. ) 30 " screen TV - $10 ( I had to pay $130 to get it running well, later. )
( 10.)Children's "Speak and Spell" electronic toy, which can be altered a la "bent circuit" Frankenstein technique to make weird noises - fitty cint
( 11.)Stomach exerciser contraption $1
( 12.)Tell-All Mafia biography - $1
( 13. ) Matthew Lesko big book on how to get government money - $1 ( It's probably just a scam, but what the hey ? )

3, 8, & 16 sound awesome. * grins over diary comment *

I live in such a small community that the same stuff is cycling through all the garage sales. Last thing found, though, was a 3' tall vase I'm repainting with an Oriental theme as a gift.
