Some really good yard sale finds!

This was by far my best garage sale deal over the last couple of months. I scored 2 large boxes full of like new AND some new with tags Gymboree clothes for a little girl – size 2t, 4, and 6. You might be thinking, “but Amy you don’t have any girls” and you would be right but I don’t intend to keep these. No, ma’am. I am going to sell them on eBay.

I paid $20 for all of these clothes and I know (from experience) that I can turn around and sell them for about 10 times as much. I’ll walk you through the whole process in a series of upcoming posts. Then you can watch my auction live just to see the potential here. I also have a large box full of Ian’s clothes to sell – all brand names – because I get them cheaper than Wally World prices and the clothes last much longer. This is how I keep my kids in great designer clothes. There are other tricks too.

I also got these items:

I am in the mood to redecorate my house so these will come in handy. The pillar in the back was actually free since it was on the side of the road. I didn’t pay anything for it.  I’ll show you what I do with them once I get things going. Then the eclecticness of my choices will make more sense. I only spent $45 total on this stuff (clothes: $20, chair: $15, rest: $10). That is not bad for two and a half hours of shopping and I am going to make a profit on the stuff!

Did you recently find anything good at a yard sale? Share!

That is awesome! And I like that chair. Free is great, especially when it’s something you know you have a use for.

I thought I was a good garage sale/bargain finder, but I have so much to learn from you!

Very nice!! :o ) I have a friend who is awesome at selling stuff on Ebay. She does the same as you do, she goes to yard sales and buy things cheap and then resells them. She loves doing it and it helps bring in a small income.
