The Best Deal in Town
Today I stumbled upon a garage sale in my neighborhood. To me, a garage sale is one of the most amazing spectacles man could ever witness. In essence it's just people who have a bunch of crap in their house that they don't want anymore, so they decide to sell it. I can think of only 2 reasons to have a garage sale. Either, you truly think that some of your trash may be someone else's treasure and you are fulfilling some desperate need in society for people who are on their own form of treasure hunt for your old mangled troll doll. Or you're either too lazy or greedy to give your used things to the Goodwill. Whatever the reason, I am thankful. I've had many good experiences at garage sales, and I've collected some good booty. Today's purchase was a blue Bugs Bunny waffle maker. At $5, I couldn't pass it up.

My favorite part about garage sales is having one and having to barter with the riff-raff that show up at 4:30am and refuse to pay the requested $.25 for the faded 1985 Patriots super bowl shirt, but are willing to pay $.10.

We had a yard sale once, and I really wanted to get $20 for a microwave. This old dude said "$10 and I'll take it."
I said, "$10?! It's a working microwave, you cheap freak."
He left, and we ended up giving the microwave to goodwill.
