Subject: RE: BS: Thrift store, yard sale & dumpster finds
Oh my....the LIST of freebies & cheapies I have acquired!

I have a large van...which allowed me to instantly acquire a full size metal office desk from a curb near my house. I have $5 leather travel bags from yard sales... and an Argentine leather 'professional' soft briefcase that MUST be worth $200 new....for $12 at at thrift shop.

2 months ago a neighbor moved and set many items on his curb....anyone need a radio collar direction finder for tracking animals? (batteries charged!)They list for over $300 new.
Also a clock radio and new-in-the-box ceiling light fixture.

Just last month got a kitchen cart of maple butchers block with fold-down end shelves for $12.50...needed one hinge fixed...took 5 minutes.

2 rolling suitcases that we use for transporting our table drapes & curtains for our display to craft shows....free by the roadside.

oh...and a mini-trampoline 'bounce on it' exercise gadget..on a curb a block away. I watch the news while bouncing on it...or riding the $10 pumping exerciser from a yard sale.

The list goes on......
