Disappointments

If you're like me and take your yard sales seriously, you're going to have a few "the one that got away stories". As I said before what I mainly look for is tools, and twice in the past month I have had 2 such instances where a tool I had been looking for was bought moments before I got there. The first one was a table top band saw which costs 120 bucks in stores sold for 25 dollars along with its sister tool a combination belt and disk sander also 25 dollars. A lady in front of me bought them both as I was walking up to them. The other instance was a brass oxy-acetylene torch that sold for 5 bucks.Had I been there just 2 min. earlier I could have walked away with some nice deals. When something like that happens, it ruins the whole sale for me and I promptly leave and go looking elsewhere rather than walk around giving the lucky owners dark looks out of the corner of my eyes. You'll have days like this if you are looking for specific items. Its almost like getting up Christmas morning and finding clothes under the tree rather than the toy you wanted.
