This week in garage sale land

Well spring has sprung and with this comes plenty of yard work and hundreds of flea markets and yard sales. I love this time of the year. The battle to get to that garage sale first. My only rule is to be as courteous as possible, unlike some early birds who show up and have the nerve to basically attack the individual. What I enjoy most is the thrill of the hunt, trying to find that amazing item for your own collection. My blog will focus on those finds, those items lost and those found that were damaged.

The hunt kicked off last week with a find of Lego's. My son loves Lego's and finding a bin filled with them is a golden egg at my house. My favorite sets and his are the space sets that came out in the 80's. The new sets are great but the earlier sets were better. We also found several board games some that we added to our website and others that we kept in our collection.

The one that I found finally was MB Battle Masters. I finally found a set that I could use to complete the set I had. Now I have a complete game and extra pieces to sell.

Until next weekend, happy hunting.
