Long post,no pics. Nebraska 3 day garage sale. Fri. Sat. Sun. went on the Bargain Byway sale. Actually drove 360 mi. Lots of fun and a few finds. 64.5 grams sterling $1.00, 2 ster. rings $2.00, Blk. Hills gold pendant $7, cow skulls 5 for $1 ea., Fire King cups & saucers 48 pcs. for $10, beer schooners (Bud, Hamms, Falstaff, etc.) 9 for $13 total. Several more tools, collectables. Interesting overnight at a historic lodge where I last stayed in 1955, damn, that was a long time ago. A similar Nebraska Junk Jaunt is coming up in the fall, hope to make that one also. HH all..

Nice! I did the 127 corridor sale maybe 10 years ago. It was a lot of fun but many things were overpriced. http://http://www.127sale.com/

We recently had "Flea Across Florida". I will have to actually check it out one year.

I went to the 127 sale too, maybe 13 years ago. You are right, the prices were INSANE.

Low end Lionel trains from the early 80's were priced so high that I actually laughed out loud. A piece of Blenko, maybe worth $30 at the time was marked $175, a blacksmith blower selling on ebay for $85 was priced at $200. Junk Craftsman wrenches were priced at $5 each, when they were only $4 in the store. The whole day of shopping was just insane.

I was only selling a little bit on the side, and bought nothing all day long.

"You laughed out loud!" I have done this also, one time the prices were so I laughed out loud and pointed at the guy,he kinda got mad but who cares.

Mt. Joe, after that trip I felt old!! In 1955 I was a college kid trying to make a living driving a truck on weekends. The roads in the sandhills of Nebraska weren't very good in those days, but good memories.
