One person’s trash is another person’s treasure. Such is the premise behind the garage or rummage sale. It’s not a mystery that most sales occur in the spring or fall which happens to coincide with the thorough cleansing of households everywhere. In some cases, you could slip a ‘b’ into the middle of the word ‘garage’ on every sign you make and still never be accused of false advertising. That being said we’ve found some really valuable stuff at these sales. Take, for instance, the bike carrier that would usually retail for around $100 that we picked up for a crispy Lincoln. Or the vintage, teal-colored ice crusher thingy that we never use but just happens to match the decor of our 50s era kitchen. Sometimes it’s the adventure of finding something you weren’t looking for that makes rummaging so much fun.

How appropriate. Usually a big pile of rejects, but if you have the patience to dig through a few tables or boxes sometimes you come up with a gem.
I have found some real camera or camera lens finds and once I got a really nice Bogen monopod in perfect condition for $1.
