Anyone going to yard sales tomorrow?

Last year I started getting into it and now I love it! I got an awesome robins egg blue bookshelf that was handmade last year, and a bunch of random decor pieces including some pottery barn vases.

Last weekend I scored a bunch of toys for the daycare including some Ikea plastic bins, and a huge brand new pizza pan for $2.

Re: Anyone going to yard sales tomorrow?

  • Nice! I love yard sales! Were hitting up one close to our house tomorrow but next weekend we have a huge subdivision locally that does an annual sale close to 100 houses participate. Can't wait!

  • I'll be at our city's farmer's market, so no yard sales for me. But I don't get up early enough for the good sales apparently. AND they start on Thursdays here! Ridiculousness.

    On a side note, my neighbors must have a permanent yard sale because they open it up every morning while I'm off to work (around 8 a.m.) and start pulling stuff out. I have yet to see anyone buy their thrift store crap.

    That's how it is by us too.  We were surprised to learn this a few years ago!

     

  • There probably isn't too many around here just yet (too cold) but I have one marked on my calendar for next month.  It's a town wide yard sale that I'm pretty excited about.

  • I hit a couple on my lunch hour today, unfortunately, I didn't find anything too earth shattering.   My Thurs & Fri lunches are spent at either garage sales or estate sales once spring arrives, I love this time of year!!  I'm still a newbie though, especially with the estate sales but I'm learning.

  • I may hit one or two, but on Saturdays most of the good stuff is gone as our garage sales start Thursdays. I usually like to get up on Thursday for an hour nor two before DH goes in to work! I love garage sale season!

  • I don't normally hit up yard sales but I know once we have little ones I probably will.

    Speaking of yard sales . . anyone planning to watch the new show "I brake for yard sale"? Starts tonight on HGTV.

    Yes!  A lot of people here have them on Th, Fri, and Sat, so I feel like all the good stuff is gone by the time Saturday rolls around.  Every once in a while in the summer I get out of work early enough to troll the neighborhoods on Friday afternoons.

    Seriously what is the point of a Thursday (or even Friday) yard sale??? Especially in April? The children are in school.  The people are at work. 

    Also why do people have yard sales from 7 am to 1030am?? Why are you closing your yard sale? Isn't the point to sell your stuff? You closing means that someone might not buy your ugly couch for $200. 

    I guess I slept through D&R 101: Yard Sale Tactics.

  • I'm hitting up two mom2mom sales tomorrow and then maybe drive through the big residential sales.  My main search is for metal trucks for DS.
