Estate sale strategy.

We went garage sale-ing for a couple hours this morning before I had to clock in for some on-call visits. I scored a rolling pin for my growing collection. We found a couple dvds for the camper. A flower pot. And then we found an estate sale.

Dave’s strategy: basement. Basement first. Because – you know – that’s where people keep their pinball machines. This strategy has often been employed but never paid off.

Until today. I was still browsing the kitchen and laundry room of this house when I figured I’d better find Dave. Knowing his strategy, I went to the basement. Where he had found a pinball machine. Which he promptly bought. And started to break down.

I kept browsing and – while it’s no pinball machine – I scored a lefse grill for $5. $5! The grill still has the round paper that originally was taped to the grill surface. Maybe this thing has been used once. $5! My lefse-making will be kicked up a notch this fall with two grills.
