Went to one before the winter and this dude was just giving away all these old skis in like mint condition. If I ever get enough time to do it they will be made into a ski chair.

a couple of years ago i scored about a $100 Odyssey putter for 10 bucks.

SCORE

a word of advise. church garage sales are where its at. they just want to get rid of stuff. IE its WAY WAY WAY cheaper than private garage sales.

I got a legit, mint condition type writer. One of the very first ones, hand cranking and everything. Oh and with all the stuff I need to work with it(paper, ink stuff, whiteout kinda thing). Done a couple reports with it, scored a better grade almost everytime since they liked it.

At a church one I got this rad red skateboard form like the 60s. It's a fishboard but really small and awesome, and really soft and flexy. It's some type of plastic. Maybe I'll post pics.

I always look around for sales though. Sometimes you'll get people selling older camera stuff  that's wort hundreds for less than fifty.  People don't know what stuff is worth. Still waiting to see a hasselblad for really cheap...

bolle ski shades from way back - $1 (broke them though)
broken dell latitude 1550 or something - $10 + $60 hard drive online + perfectly good laptop.

water skis are the ultimate garage sale score. people always sell old skis for $0.50 - $1.00. I'm always hawkin' garage sales for these kind of deals. can't beat a ski for a dollar - if the skis are pieces of shit, i just use them for barefoot step off skis.

got a thrift store story:  My friend needed a couch, and we found a free one outside of a thrift store on the curb.  It wouldn't fit in his tiny ass suburu,  but he had chains in the back.  there was an old box spring next to the couch.  We tied that bitch up, put the couch ontop and i surfed behind the subey at midnight next to the cop shop.
