I was hung up on that same thought about the arrows with every new sign I saw. Some had two arrows, but so small you couldn't be sure which way they were pointing until too late. So many wrong turns were made by me this morning because people try to tell so much on a sign and they use colors that don't show up. Just give me an ARROW! I'll know what it means; because I'm looking for it!

I rarely will stand in line, since I don't have the time or money to make it worth my while. I kind of think of myself as a vulture, going through the bones. My only complaint was once, the person I was paying was giving me a sale's pitch that the items I was buying were so worth the money, etc. Didn't care for that.<br />Bad signs are the worse, when they either don't have enough on a long, country road or when they are OLD. When people don't take their signs down, they should have to pay a penalty with any money they made.<br />I am amazed at some of the modern items that are found on the West Coast, though I bet some people would be green about some of the old timey stuff I am able to find. I guess it works out.suzieQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04883115039145453043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110077978481953569.post-21907382583734827112012-07-13T08:48:58.804-07:002012-07-13T08:48:58.804-07:00Good "estate sales" are hard to find her...Good "estate sales" are hard to find here. If they are true estate sales (as in someone died or is selling off everything), almost always a company is running it and they are pretty expensive. Plus, professional resellers line up literally hours before hand and get the good stuff. A lot of the other estate sales are really just garage sales.<br />I'm always jealous of people who live in areas with great deals at garage sales. Here it seems that people over price their junk. It can be crazy.Erikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01535023485528397531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110077978481953569.post-77393672309104382862012-07-13T07:36:38.334-07:002012-07-13T07:36:38.334-07:00I needed this laugh today!

I live in Michigan and many of the company ones (local companies) will do awesome deals on the last day. They often have "bag sales" where anything the last day can be put in a bag for $5. As I search these sales for re-sale items and things for my house, that is an awesome find. Also check out estatesales.net they often put up pictures beforehand!<br /><br />Happy Hunting!The Side Gighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09800520667864829806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4110077978481953569.post-70861940255688850262012-07-13T06:07:48.908-07:002012-07-13T06:07:48.908-07:00In 2011 when that guy predicted the "world wo...In 2011 when that guy predicted the "world would end" it happened to fall on our city wide garage sale weekend.
