RE: Living Life in Search of Hidden Treasure!
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
My treasure hunting was confined to estate sales, tag sales, and flea markets. Mostly it was finding things I really wanted but couldn't afford retail. There's a few things that stand out:
A deep sea diver's watch my son bought for $2 at a tag sale that retailed around $300
A winter coat I paid $3 for at a tag sale and have worn for 20+ years. I get a lot of complements on it still, it's still in really good shape.
Something like 9 rolls of wire garden fencing and 2 gates for $80. It would have retailed at about $40/roll. This enabled us to build the layer pen initially and was also used to re-fence the Small garden. I'm still using it for various things, lastly for fencing for the little trees.
Yeah, finding treasures is fun, especially when they are really cheap!
Ohhh ... this reminds me of the fabulous NEW, very large cast iron skillet I snagged for about $9 at a local thrift shop. Those retail for about $40/50 if not more. We use it nearly every day.
