Went over to an Garage Sale as they were closing down after 3 days. While browsing among the Halloween decorations was told they were finished and I could take any of the decorations for FREE! The only catch was I had to take the skeleton which is what I came to get anyway. There also was a Talking Boris! I couldn't leave without buying something so looked around and found a box with a bunch of wall warts. They wanted $5 for the whole box. Another score!
Time to go buy a lottery ticket.

Nice haul. It's amazing what ppl find no use in any more. 'Course it's amazing what ppl expect you to pay full price for too!

Great score, Steve! Those Boris skulls are hard to find. And one can never have too many wall warts!

What kind of people live in your neighborhood that wouldn't have pick up that stuff on the first day? You're so lucky!

Here's today's find. Was really only interested in the sign and the skull with the dancing black roses but when I asked how much she wanted for it all, I couldn't say no. $25 for the lot!

Where are people finding these magical garage sales with all this cool stuff (obviously San Diego, right?) I've never seen Halloween stuff at a yard sale in my area. I'm very jealous

Sweet ! Was that the garage sale in Rancho Penasquitos ? I tried to make it out there, but was busy today. Great score Steve !

Yes, that was the one. My wife really likes the candelabras. Just have to get some battery operated candles as we don't want to use real candles any more. Not sure if the fog machines work although she said they did. Last couple I bought used need new pumps.

Yeah, I'm foaming at the mouth over those fantastic scores! I can't find anything like those around here. I'd kill for a boris or any skull for that matter. No way do I want to pay Anatomical Chart, etc. prices. Can't even find a decent purchase on e-bay because shipping is over-the-top! I will keep looking, keep looking, keep looking....
