Man I wish I could have that kind of luck.

[Particle Man]

Holy freakin' crap :eek:

You might. You just won't know for 10 years :lol:

See... yet another reason why I want to go into the line of work that the American Pickers (http://www.history.com/shows/american-pickers) are in.

I mean, that's good luck and all, but I still don't want to go to garage sales.

Bunch of trashy folks putting all their crap no one wants in their driveway, only for other trashy folk to come by and try to bargain with them on it.

No thanks.

[Avatard]

Not so fast...may not be Ansel after all:

The Adams family have been denying them too.

This...NOTHING says trashy faster than hosting or attending a garage sale.

[Papa_Complex]

For $200M I would take the hit on not being fashionable.

[Avatard]

True dat.

:lol: yep

Bullshit.

I've found some very cool stuff at garage sales, (including a '74 Ducati GT750 that was housed out back, in a chicken coop).

If I see a bunch of baby clothes and toys, and "collectible" Avon bottles, I won't stop, but...the absence of those things can mean you are about to stumble onto something unique.

That's the cool thing about garage sales, you never know what you might find. Have you no sense of adventure?

I'm still hoping to find that minty '62 P-bass that used to belong to grandpa for only $75

[z06boy]

...and if you hit one that's a pizzed off recently seperated/divorced female that's selling her husband's tools/toys and don't really care what she gets for them...or a recent widower selling her deceased husband's stuff...just saying...good stuff can be had...cheap. :idk:

At least this is what I have been told...:whistle:

[OneSickPsycho]

Garage sales rock...

[KSGregman]

Have you no sense of adventure?

I do....but...I prefer to look for adventures riding...or scuba diving...sky diving...trying a new fitness regimen...travelling the world.

Rummaging around like a greedy voyeuristic vulture in someone elses junk pile? Not so much. :td:

Depends on the junk pile. It worked for Indiana Jones.

It's called a garage "sale." Where's the greed trading money for goods? You're probably just like my brother. Has to be new or its crap.

Not really much different from buying a used bike, car, house, girlfriend...

KS only fucks virgins, and even then, only once. :lol:

You know, I might be tempted to join you and your old man's club if you could work something like this out. (Still not going to any garage sales, though. :lmao: )

[Amorok]

I like used stuff. I like to think of it as proven and broken in. Some of my best guns have been used, and I kind of wish I'd gone used on my first bike. Definitely going used from now on. That being said, I don't do yard sales. Standing in the sun or someone's hot garage pawing through stuff on the off chance I'll find something I want when the power of the internet is available...my weekends are more valuable than that.
