but there are soooo many folks around me who do nothing but garage sale and thrift shop 24/7 that it's hard to beat them to it!
Maybe it's time to move to a smaller town??

Ssshhh...(Hubby & I have become these people)...Okay, I have to admit this somewhere (this will also tell you why I haven't been on here for months):
Hubby left his FT job at Frito Lay this past September so that we could both sell on ebay FT. So Thrift Stores, Yard Sales, Flea Markets, Auctions, Storage Auctions, Newspaper, Craigslist...wherever we find a deal on stuff that we know does well, we buy it. We've opened up a store on ebay too, although I'm debating about ending that, cuz it doesn't really do that much.
Mostly our sales line consists of:
- any type of Food Dehydrators (any brand)
- Presto Salad Shooters (from the Basic all the way up to the Professional Plus)
- any Oster Kitchen Center Parts or Attachments
- anything having to do with video games. We seem to have hit the market down here on that too. We get systems, games, accessories, you name it. Any kind too...we're partial to any form of Nintendo, but buy all brands based on what it sells for & what we can get it for.
We still come across odds & ends here & there too that we throw in, but what I just listed is our main sales line.
Since September I have had to put up with HIM & EBAY FT with 1 COMPUTER! Well, I FINALLY got a 2nd computer up & running in the dining room...which provides so much more freedom! Before it was always one of us on there listing or shipping. It was always eBay, all day long...which, it's still going to be...just not as long everyday. With having the 2 computers this frees up some time for both of us. So now that I got me the 2nd computer, I get a lil time to come on here sometimes!
Oh shoot, back on topic here: Yes, my name is Julie & I am a thrift store & garage sale junkie...it's been 1 hour since my last shop...I will be going again tomorrow morning since my local thrift store is having there semi-annual sale this week: 75% tomorrow. Then I must get my fix again on Saturday when it's fill a brown paper bag for $2! There, confessions of a thrift store queen!
