Storage Wars Keeps The Hope Alive

Chances are if you are reading this you love, no I mean LOVE, the possibility of finding a treasure in someone else's junk. That is the real reason we go to yard sales anyway. Sure it's great to find a toy to give to your kid or grandchild. You might even enjoy finding something you know you can turn around and sell for a small profit at your own yard sale or even on Ebay. The thing that really drives you is the thought that you could be the one who finds that rare piece. A copy of the Declaration of Independence, or a piece of Faberge jewelry, maybe even a Tiffany.
  If I just described you then you must be watching the A&E show Storage Wars. The show follows four people who make their living going to auctions at storage facilities, buy the contents of units, and hope to find enough in the units to resell for a profit. I'm pretty sure the show focuses on most of the big scores, and that's ok with me. The show helps me get through these cold winter months when there just aren't any yard sales to go to. I can't help to think, when watching the show, that one day it will be me opening that beat up old box and finding a Rolex or peeling back a seemingly worthless oil painting to find a stash of cash.
  So while the weather here in NJ keeps us indoors, at least we can watch a show like Storage Wars and look forward to our first yard sale of the year.
   Please become a follower so I can keep you up to date on yard or garage sales in your area and maybe it will be you with that great next find.

Yard Sales the Original Ebay

Everyone seems to be familiar with Ebay these days. The online auction site for just about anything is thriving. While that is good for them it is bad for you, the bargain hunter. Where once you could just walk up to a yard sale and find some great deals, now alot of that stuff is posted on Ebay and you have to contend with a countless number of bidders. There are, however, good deals out there to be had. In fact, if you think about it, the yard sales that do still exist might actually have the best deals.
 There is a good chance that if someone is using a yard sale to sell off their goods they are either not Ebay savy or just too lazy to post each item. Either way this works out for you in several ways. First they may have something of value and not know it. Secondly, you only have to compete against the people in the general area of the yard sale.
 The weather in NJ just isn't lending itself to any yard sales right now, but don't fret, it will get warmer soon and we at NJ Yard Sale Search will start listing them soon.
