I’ve been getting back into the estate sale swing the past few weeks and so far so good.  No major scores, but definitely some interesting purchases that I haven’t come across before.  Two weeks ago I went to a small sale that was advertised as having “man stuff.”

It was pretty packed and very dirty.  There was only one room inside the house and a garage packed to the gills.

It was hard to take photos since there was only one room to shop in, and like 45 workers. 

The items were normal-ish.  Dude stuff like hunting gear, deer mounts, cheap fake swords, etc.  There were tiny hints that this person maybe was crazy/an ahole.

How to Make Knives? Alright, maybe that’s a normal hobby.  Idk.

I’ll typically excuse one Nazi book.  But several Nazi books?  Eh.  Although, that said, I know some dudes are super into Nazi history as like a “hobby."  Still seems weird to me.

I ended up buying a vintage AC/DC button for $2 because it was still attached to the Cobo parking ticket from the concert in the 70s. (I think it was the 70s, I forget.)  Anyways, I thought this would sell on ebay but so far it hasn’t.  TWO DOLLARS WASTED.

I also bought a giant box of crystals for $10.  I found it in the garage and was sure that mice were living amongst all the newspaper that was being used as padding.  When I was at home and unwrapping each gem, I would jump and shriek, sure that a mouse was about to reveal itself.  Zach kept telling me to buck up but I was so freaked.  There were no mice afterall, just mouse poop which is so effing gross.

You can’t tell from the photo but these crystals are HUGE.  I am planning to put most of them on ebay.  I am also planning to keep a few to use for meditation.  I follow this adorable hippie mom on instagram and she does meditation with her baby.  The crystals seem to be very important to the process.  I even asked Timmy to get me some chakra crystals for Christmas and HE DIDN’T.

OK, let’s be honest, I will probably never meditate, but still, these crystals are COOL.

The last thing I bought was this psychedelic poster from the 1960s or 70s.  It is up on ebay right now and is currently at $15 with 6 bids.  I paid $2 for it.  It is very majestic.

Sorry for the bad pic.  I pulled it off ebay.  That damsel in distress in the middle is me.  I am very foxy.
