Update: I just sold my lot of Air France flatware for 159.99 + $10 shipping, it is going to Japan.

I made my weekly rounds the estate sale circuit and picked up some overlooked gems.
I hit this estate sale on the fourth day and picked up these items.
These were priced at $3 and since it was the last day everything was half off. I paid the lady $1.50.
Then I was shocked when I saw this bag of utensils.
These too were marked $3 for everything and I happily gave the lady $1.50.
The next estate sale was in the third week. There had been 6 days of selling before. I had been to the sale the previous week but this week they said they were going to open up the garage. I missed the first day but went the second day not expecting much.
But I found this.
I plugged it in and it was working just fine. The cord needs to be replaced and I need to clean it up a bit before I try and sell it but I got it for $15. Even the guy that I bought it from mentioned it was probably worth $15 in scrap alone and I could not argue with that.
I hear from some people that estate sales aren't worth it.... but I have had good success in the past and I say stay vigilant, even the pros don't know what they have all the time. And the sharks that go hunting don't always catch everything.
Again I would like to thank everyone on these boards, you have helped a ton. Happy hunting!
