I'm really jealous at what everybody's found. I lived, or at least, my parents lived, in a fairly nice area and I never stumbled upon so nice. If anything, people had unrealistic prices for the items I've seen at garage sales. And, it's been my experience, that you'll find better stuff in less desireable areas. Has anybody else noticed how Target is donating all their items to Goodwill. They're brand new, but I might as well have just bought them from Target at the prices Goodwill is selling them for. I would think that with EBay that it would be unlikely that you'd be able to fortiously stumble upon some of the deals people have found. I did find some brand new, opened wine charms from Pottery Barn for two dollars that I bought for my mom. Personally, I think wine charms are pretty silly and I wouldn't have bought them but I knew my mom wanted some. For books, I've found James Beard's American Cookery, New York Times Cookbook, LaRousse Gatronimique, Marcella Hazan's The Classic Italian Cookbook, Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking together for a good price. They're the older versions so they're not updated, but I don't know how much of a difference that makes. I think Hazan's is a first edition, but I don't really know how to distinguish if something is a first edition or not. Not that it really matters, since that book is only in fair condition.
