Nifty Thrifty!

I’ve been on such a thrifting high lately! I’ve been getting wonderful clothes at dirt cheap prices! And this weekend takes the cake! I saw a listing on craigslist for someone having a garage sale & they wanted to just get rid of the whole lot of it. Seeing that it was so close I thought “Hey what could it hurt to go look”. Well this lady has a decent amount of stuff left. So we talked, I paid & then we stuffed my car full of garage sale “junk” as my husband thought I bought.

And after unpacking my car I was like “Oh no, what if I can’t resell any of it? What if it is all junk?”….

After a few hours of organizing the things into four piles. Sell on ebay, throw into my next garage sale, freecycle & trash. The ebay pile was bigger then I would have thought. It included new & gently used children’s clothes (GAP, land’s end & Old Navy), maternity clothes (MOTHERHOOD mostly), a pile of VHS tapes (apparently people buy this on ebay in large lots), a stack of cassette tapes (actually these will probably not even make it onto ebay, need to do more research) and a stack of cloth diaper covers (enough to make $50 easily!). Lots of good stuff. Garage sale pile was mainly Target brand clothing. The losers of the batch? Ice-cream maker, some silly foot rest thing for a kid’s car seat & stuffed animals.

VHS tapes....

I’ll be happy to tell you guys how much I profit from ebay after all the auction are finished.

Oh and how much did I buy it all for?

$20.

Yup.
