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.
Check our listings for a yard sale in your area. We also try to list featured items of sale whenever possible.
