What's the best thing you've ever found at a yard sale?
- I haven't found anything myself but I'm sure someone else was pumped to find my sega saturn, 30 games, 2 regular controllers and 2 arcade controllers for 15 dollars at the yard sale my mom had.
"Well I didn't think you'd want to keep that, you live so far away now."
A 2 minute phone call could have cleared up that mystery there mom, thought I had it with me in an unopened box.
Do I sound salty? I feel salty.

- Amateur porn. I came across an original VHS of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie (1993? I think) and anyway, for nostalgia purposes, I figured I would buy it and watch the old VHS version...
Turns out, the sellers recorded over the film with amateur porn from like 20 years ago I guess they had forgotten about.

- I got a charcoal smoker for 5 bucks, worked great cause I had helped cut down an Apple tree earlier that year so I was able to snag the wood.

- A working, fully-restored 1960s Underwood typewriter. It was painted white, had all new ribbons and keys (but were the original style). Being a writer, I wanted it.
The vendor wanted $70 for it. I had $65 on me at the time.
The vendor wouldn't sell it for 65 and I left the sale without it.

- My mom loves Charlie Chaplin. My Dad and I found an old book about him at an outdoor book sale for $1. We brought it home and showed it to my Mom. When she opened it, it was autographed!! Lucky!

- This wasn't my find, but a friend gave me a box of things he got at yard sales as a wedding present. My favorite item in the box was a kid's sticker book from some police department that had weird stickers like suspects being led away in handcuffs and beaten with nightsticks.
