    Not really. But I once had a 2 day yard sale that netted me $4,600 profit! Nothing larger or more expensive than a $75 sofa either! Now THAT'S a yard sale!

It was brand new never worn apparently the woman selling it had spent almost $1000.00 dollars on just the dress and planned this extravagant wedding only to be dumped by her fiance the week before...something about he moved to Cancun?? ANYWAY...my sister in law wound up getting the dress and accessories for about $200.00!!! Now that's a deal!!!LOL!

    In 2005 I bought an old German coin from the 1930's for 85 cents. It sells for $50-$75 these days.

    21 years ago, I bought an original box from a particular GI Joe vehicle. Inside was the vehicle and a few GI Joe figures and clothing, guns, etc., and this was all from the 60's. I payed $5.00 for all of it. Still have it to this day!

    Over the years I have gotten about a ton of free yarn. I have made hundreds of dollars worth of gifts to donate to the charity auctions and fairs.
