After a several year hiatus, I went to a few garage sales yesterday. Part of my apathy therapy of gradually getting back to things I enjoy. Anyway, I limited myself to $20 and here's what I got:
For Kathlyn (15yo): Wham/Shaun Cassidy albums $6 - lol. She is listening to Xmas albums in May;
For Amanda (12yo): A lava lamp, plasma ball, and fiber optic lamp $10;
For Becky: An incense stick burning tray originally from Pier 1 (saw no jewelry worth getting) $2;
For Me: Two shirts, a book on C++, and Back to the Future III and Highlander VCR tapes $2.
Anyway, I was at the last garage sale and had reached my limit of $20 spent so I was really just looking around and killing time. There were four older gentlemen about my age or older and I was chatting with them about the nostalgia of a sparkley 1970's motorcycle helmet and 8-track tapes they had. Then, I saw some old suitcases and grabbed one that caught my eye, but the thing was incredibly heavy. My first instinct was to joke about selling a dead body. Turns out it contained family momentos from their Grandpa. Old maps, magazines, a Captain Kangaroo Kids Drinking Cup (like in the picture below), and many other things that were wrapped in newspaper that I didn't eventually see. No telling what could have been there and it would have been like a treasure chest if I had wanted to keep quiet and just pay the $1 for the suitcase without ever mentioning the weight. Oh well, I guess that's what they call honesty and character.
