Yard Sales: I'll give you a pocket of lint for that couch!? DEAL!

So yard sales are kinda outdated due to ebay and craiglist and rising gas prices and shit nowadays, but they're still quite a few now and then.

My subdivision had a community yard sale weekend. At least 20, all within walking distance.

What kind of deals have you struck up at a yard sale or flea market before?

Most of the good shit is gone by midday on the first day, but here's some of the deals I got.

Wireless cable modem in box w/ everything- $10
A few books - $1
Super Mario 3 NES - $2
Gamecube system with 2 controllers - $10 (Reset button sticks, though. Gotta fix that)
Gamecube system in EXCELLENT condition in box with 1 controller and mem card with 4 decent games - $25
Space heater - $2
Small but decent and sturdy coffee table - $5
Star Ocean Second Story Strategy Guide - 25 cents
Fuzzy things for the bottoms of your chair legs - 25 cents
Box fan and standing oscillating fan - $5

And then somebody left all their stuff out for free after they ended the yard sale. So I grabbed a spare keyboard, spare mouse, spare ethernet cable, N64 AC Power Supply (wtf does this even do?), and an HP Laset5L printer (dunno if it works yet).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

If you want to give stuff away, you don't have to sit outside and attend it.

But in the beaner's case, it wouldn't be a great idea. It's bad enough they dig through his trash. If they find nice enough stuff, dumpster or doorstep, they may just kick down the door and make their own yard sale when he's not home.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
