Crystals
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.
