Lookie what I found today!





I was thrilled when I found this German Cuckoo Clock at a yardsale. The man had just put out his yard sale signs and I was one of the first to get a look at what they were selling. I immediately asked if it worked... and he said it did 10 years ago when it was put in the box and put into their attic. He said he wanted $50 and I asked if he would take $40 and he said "Yeah." I was jumping up and down inside! I am thinking resell for this but I am not sure on ebay. This one plays two songs and also cuckoo's. There is a cuckoo clock store online that sells these for $589 (for the same style and brand as this one) Ebay is selling them for a lot less. I wouldn't part for less than $100 but think it really should go for over $200. It is in good working condition. I might check into Craigs list or do that and Ebay and just take it off if its not selling good enough. What do you all thinK?

At this same yard sale they had these professional bowling balls in this very nice rolling suitcase. My son is in a bowling league and so I called him and we negotiated a fair price of $35. (down from $40)

After making that deal I looked down and saw this RC car (without gun remote) and I made a comment about how my husband built one like that and it was over $200. He said I could have it! HA... SO I went home with something I loved, something my Hubby loved and a something for my son!
Love the free items. :0)

I found one other sale and I got this great Miller Genuine Draft Cooler Can. It has some scratches on one side but I can fix them. This can hold 12 - 24 beers easily. My son asked for it... I said, "NO."
I was surprised to find anything today and this turned out to be a great yardsale day!

Donna, I have all the pieces to this one but I bet you could easily find a pendulum for yours. There are plenty of people selling clocks for parts.
Magi, I was surprised. I didn't buy a lot of items and I spent a lot more than I would on a regular Saturday but I am confident of my resell values bringing me a great profit.
Judy, Yeah, it feels weird to not have anything on ebay. I need to list the cooler and I am debating how to sell the cuckoo clock. I really don't want to give it away. I want it to go for a high enough price that I feel great about parting with it. I could see it hanging on my own wall!
Take care.
