Another day doing yard sales
Made quite a circuit, starting in Alexandria, going out into Ohatchee, back through Alexandria and into Jacksonville, then into Weaver and home. Picked up a few interesting pieces but nothing like yesterdays cast iron haul. After eating lunch went out looking for metal shower curtain clips that look like an old style key hole. Found some but at about 28 cents each were a bit much for what I want as we need at least a hundred and two to three hundred would not be out of the question. Want to use them to hold necklaces and bracelets on displays in the First Up. Going to go to Mountain Top in the morning and see if a guy we saw last weekend is there and if so ask him where

Saturday bits
Started out this morning and first sign we saw was for an Estate Sale, so we headed that way. Ended up with a box of yarn, another one of embroidery thread, and about 50 pounds of buttons. I should really learn to just walk away from things but maybe we will come out on it all. Came back and unloaded the truck and headed out again. Next stop was at a yard sale on 204. Got 2 swag ceiling lamps one of which I have already mounted on the lamp stand we picked up yesterday. There were a bunch of boxes on the ground at the back of the tables and as I walked toward them the lady said that there were a bunch of cast iron in them at $X each or if we wanted them all we could have

Another day on the road
Just didn’t go quite as far afield. First stop was at Poor Mans Trade Day to see what kind of crowd they have on Thursdays. From talking to some folks today was slower than usual but was still a fair number of folks there, both selling and buying. Twas a steady stream of buyers and folks still setting up to sell up to about 9 o’clock. I ended up buying a retractable step for the camper for 5 bucks. Fellow wanted 6 but I had already decided I wouldn’t spend more than 5 and that’s what I offered. He said he had more than that in it but when I started off he said he needed the money more than the step and took my 5, though I think it irritated him to

Another day on the Road
And the last (except for semi local trips no further than Gadsden) for at least a day or two. Made it to the Rome Trade Days and did a wander through. Spotted a Skill Sidewinder saw and was told that it could be mine for only $12. Offered him $5 and was told no way, so left. Finished the circuit and bought a Sony AM/FM tuner for $1.25 after the guy offered it to me for $2. Just gotta haggle a bit. Counter offered him a buck and he said no way. Talked a minute and then started walking away with a final offer of $1.25 and he with a disgusted sigh says gimme and take it, so I did.

Tuesday on the road
Made it to Summerville, Ga. to Ye Olde Trading Grounds this morning and twas a crowd that I have never seen on a Tuesday at a trade day/flea market. Folks there from all over several states. Will certainly go back and try selling there. They are also open (for sure) on Saturday and from some online sources Sunday too but from the sign there it is Saturday only so will have to ask next trip. They allow camping on site at no additional charge so will go on Monday afternoon and stay overnight rather than heading out at 2 am to be there at 5 am their time. Now I really have a reason to finish the camper.
