I think you can guess what that means\u2026we found stuff this week!<\/p>\n<p>Patrick woke me and Rumi up super early on Saturday morning\u2026at like 6:25! We usually get up at around 7:00, but he said that the early bird gets the worm, so we got up. (Even though I don\u2019t like worms) We were on the road by 6:55 after brek and a walk (Yay!).<\/p>\n<p>I was still super tired, so I crawled into Patrick\u2019s lap and took a power nap. Before I knew it we\u2019d arrived at our first sale. Patrick told me that there were supposed to be Star Trek items there and he loves Star Trek so I had high hopes! It looked like we were the first ones there so we asked if it was ok for us to go in (we were early!). They said sure and we found an entire tote of Star Trek stuff! Here\u2019s what we got:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/duncan.pdtodd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-208\" src=\"https:\/\/duncan.pdtodd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-1-1024x793.jpeg\" alt=\"image\" width=\"640\" height=\"496\" srcset=\"https:\/\/duncan.pdtodd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-1-1024x793.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/duncan.pdtodd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-1-300x232.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/duncan.pdtodd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-1-768x595.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Wow! Paid $48 for everything and valued at around $250! A great start to the day!<\/p>\n<p>On our way to the next sale, we stopped at one that wasn\u2019t supposed to open for 1 \u00bd hours. They wouldn\u2019t let us in. Oh well!<\/p>\n<p>Our third sale of the day was listed as a MEGA sale! They had their entire front lawn covered in stuff, but we still looked to be one of the first few people to arrive. We asked about games and the younger guy said he\u2019d bring some out. We looked at the rest of the stuff and bought a few more things too. Here\u2019s what we got:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/duncan.pdtodd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-3.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-210\" src=\"https:\/\/duncan.pdtodd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-3-1024x658.jpeg\" alt=\"image\" width=\"640\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/duncan.pdtodd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-3-1024x658.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/duncan.pdtodd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-3-300x193.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/duncan.pdtodd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-3-768x493.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t like that Brain Warp thing and Rumi HATES it! But Patrick said it was funny so we got it. Patrick buys some weird things sometimes. The Michael Jordan cards are supposed to be 22K gold. Sounds fancy!<\/p>\n<p>Paid $24 and valued at $105. We\u2019re on a roll!<\/p>\n<p>Patrick was SUPER excited about this next sale as they had mentioned sporting goods. He doesn\u2019t play any sports but if he\u2019s excited I\u2019M excited too! They didn\u2019t end up having any video games, but Patrick bought some skis?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/duncan.pdtodd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-2.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-209\" src=\"https:\/\/duncan.pdtodd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-2-344x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"image\" width=\"344\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/duncan.pdtodd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-2-344x1024.jpeg 344w, https:\/\/duncan.pdtodd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-2-101x300.jpeg 101w, https:\/\/duncan.pdtodd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-2-768x2288.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/duncan.pdtodd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-2.jpeg 1058w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 344px) 100vw, 344px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t think he was into sports, but if he\u2019s happy, so am I!<\/p>\n<p>Our next sale was a moving sale. We usually don\u2019t like those, but our Spidey senses were tingling about this sale so we went. They didn\u2019t have much at first glance, but after asking about video games, the guy went inside to get some. Always a good sign! He brought out an entire box and we picked out some good ones. Here\u2019s what we got!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/duncan.pdtodd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-207\" src=\"https:\/\/duncan.pdtodd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-1024x493.jpeg\" alt=\"image\" width=\"640\" height=\"308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/duncan.pdtodd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-1024x493.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/duncan.pdtodd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-300x145.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/duncan.pdtodd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/image-768x370.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Only 10 games, but they\u2019re all mostly good. Patrick got a few for bundling and one he took a chance on. The negotiation was fascinating on this one. The guy started out at $10 a game, but we told him we usually only pay $1-2 per game at sales, but were willing to negotiate. After thinking a bit, the guy finally said, \u201cOk, you can have these for $20.\u201d SOLD! \u00a0Total estimated value: $140.<\/p>\n<p>Patrick then said we were going to a community sale. We\u2019ve done well at those in the past so I was getting excited again. Then I reminded Patrick that he needed to do some work on a home-improvement project and that we should probably go home. We already had lots of good stuff for the day and could call it a success. He agreed and we headed home with breakfast. J<\/p>\n<p>Total spent: $102<\/p>\n<p>Total value if we sold everything individually: $500<\/p>\n<p>Total profit after fees: $300<\/p>\n<p>A great early season day! Backflips for everyone!
