The yard sales in your area seem to be more interesting than the ones near me.

Beautiful knife. I wish I could stumble across something like that. :)

Around here: baby chairs, toasters, odd pieces of tableware, children's bicycles, child's wagon, odd nick-knacks...
 
My congratulations to you.:thumbup:
This time you are more successfull than me with 803.:D

Thanks Wolfdog, all yard sale here are not that good too... But sometime I get lucky... I look for old toys and child's Wagons, tools, Knives and I guess just old stuff... ITE ... :thumbup: ...
 
I read once that EVERYONE is a knife 'collector' at one level or another...So at EVER SINGLE yard sale I go to I ask if they have ANY old knives..Numbers so far are 1 out of every 15 or so will say yes and go back in the house and drag out something..Only once so far have they brought out a Buck [a 119] But what started it all for me was a Guy I meet leaving a yard sale with a old sorta beat up 'Randall Made' 10" or so fixed blade....No sheath, for $12.00.... Bargained down from a $20.00 offer......AFTER he asked then if they had any old knives for sale that was not on the table...I have had 7 or 8 go back in the house and bring out a few just to let me look at..It's ALWAYS worth asking!
 
First off for the yard sales here you need to speak Spanish . Then know the culture . That helps even more . I keep looking and asking but I've yet to find a Buck . A nice find 'E' . DM
 
The YARD SALES is interesting American tradition.
In Russia they are impossible.
We have only two small flea markets in the city with six millions habitants.
We have got Internet , it's a little specific, and it is not so easy to buy or to sell something is not new.

It is so hard work, you work as the investigator or as the special agent in the dark territories.:)
This process has got the sharp elements of adventures.:cool:

It's needless to bet. There's never a Buck knfe for sale at a yard sale in Germany.
I've to buy them in the States and to ship them over the big pond.
what a disadvantage :-(((.
