My community clubhouse is redoing the downstairs rooms and had a silent auction for the present furnishings. I got a table for 5.00. I plan on using it as a desk in my guest room.

The best I’ve done recently was to score a Weber iGrill thermometer (with Bluetooth) at Target. Regular price was in the high fifty dollar range, it was on the 50% off rack but still priced at $36.00.

I went to an associate and pointed out that the sale price wasn’t 50% off.

She said it would be marked at an even higher percentage off when they got around to changing the signs...so she went ahead and marked it $8 something.

Works great and very neat that I can sit in my cool cabin and watch the temp of the chicken on the smoker on my cell phone.

I am easily entertained.

I got a Baker armoire at an estate sale for $800. It didn't quite fit perfectly in my house so I resold it on eBay -- for $8,000!

Years ago, got a Bose iPod dock at a garage sale for $25 at a time when those things cost like $400.

WOW, beagles! Fantastic score. And may I say I love the table that the ship model is sitting on? Yum.

Jeez, Beagles, that’s amazing. I’d be the sucker who bought it for $8000. My most recent score was a cell phone holder for my car. With my $10 coupon, it was free.

I got a men's silk Hermes tie at the Goodwill for 99 cents...

This is going back more than six years but I found a big round brass and onyx coffee table w/matching side table, 1960’s Muller of Mexico for $350 at a garage sale. They were for my sons new place. The tables were mint and weighed a ton. I’m not sure how much people would pay in real life but 1stDibs had the tables at $3,800 for the large and $2,500 for the side. My son still has them.

Pretty much 80% of the whole place was from CL, garage sales or the Habitat rehoming store.

This isn't new, but one of my favorite scores that I unearthed in an antique shop in Suffolk, England. It was marked as a print for 30GBP. I suspected it was actually a painting and sure enough, it is an original. It's a fairly large piece. I had it reframed and now it hangs in my bedroom and is one of my favorite things. It's a doorway in one of the old fishermen's cottages in St. Ives, Cornwall. I'm sure I've strolled right by it at some point.
