Well, it's getting to be that time of the year when people start gathering up their old junk to try to get rid of it and make a little money by setting up shop on their lawn, garage, or driveway.

So how many of you go to these things, or have set one up yourself? Have you ever found anything that was valuable?

It's been awhile since I held my own yard sale, and I think I'm going to put it off for as long as I can. Last time I had one, there were people trying to buy stuff at 10 p.m.! Geez... Not to mention all the hagglers that come by trying to talk you down from an already pretty cheap price. I'd rather not deal with them, but money is money, though I may just donate all the stuff I don't need/want to the Salvation Army.

Haven't been to one in awhile either. I have a coworker who goes every Saturday morning though, and she buys the most random of junk. xD Last time I spoke to her she bought a patio set... Don't know what she plans on doing with it, since she already has a nice one of her own, but she said the price was good enough that she had to get it. She's one of those hagglers too, so once she has her eye on something, it's rare that she doesn't wind up getting it.

Only "treasure" I can think of worth mentioning is the time my mom bought a whole box of Christmas decorations for a little under 10 dollars, and when she looked through it, she found a crystal vase. It's pretty nice too, though she doesn't really use it. It's locked up in her "This stuff is nice, so don't touch it" cabinet. Okay, it's actually not called that, but that's what I call it.
