Our Latest Discoveries!

I am starting this blog so I can share our success with you, my family! Each week we set out at 6:45am looking for every garage sale around! Usually we hit anywhere from 30 to 50 sales depending on the amount that are out for the day.





It all started with this Mickey Mouse waffle maker. We stopped by a small sale in San Dimas because we saw this Mickey Mouse box from the street. Seeing as how Kayley loves anything Disney we stopped to check it out. They wanted $3 for it so we scooped it up quickly. When we got home I took it out of the box and threw the box away thinking we were going to keep it and make waffles! Anthony went onto ebay just to see and found that people were bidding on this item like crazy and it was up to $71 on one of them. Needless to say we fished the box out of the trash and posted it on ebay. The waffle maker sold for $140 which is a profit of $137!! This began the journey that is our Saturday mornings!


We started off looking for small things like toys and began buying and fixing up furniture. The Do it yourself world is not as easy as you think sometimes but we learning daily and making things better each time.


More to come!!
