BattleStar Galactica
I needed to convert some VHS to DVD for my Mother so I found this nice Sony dual copier on craigslist. When I went to take a look at it This guy was at his storage unit. It was full of stuff. The Battlestar Galactica stuff was wicked cool. The story this guy gave me was that he has a friend that works for the prop company that made stuff for BG and his friend made him the BSG 75 emblem exact as to the originals made for the show. It is beautiful quality and and after a little doing research I fully believe him. The guy selling was travelling the country and living in a super huge trailer and couldn't keep it. He also had 3 professionally framed posters. I scored big on this buy and got the lot for $120.00. Really makes the office look nice and it helps that I'm a fan of the excellent series.

Found this rug at a yard sale and works great under our kitchen table, $5.00. I've had good luck with rugs at yard sales.
Telescope
Always wanted a telescope and for $7.00 I now have one. Its an older japanese model but works great.
NES and games
Purchased this from a Craigslist laisting for $20.00. The power supply may be bad in this NES, Tecmo Baseball, Paperboy, Double Dribble, NFL Power Play. NFL power play reviews as just an awful game.
Phone and calculator
Box of junk $1.00. Later in the day on saturdays yard sale people are just getting rid of stuff I took this box. GE 2-9420a 2 line phone cleaned up well and is a very nice heavy feeling phone. the TI-5035 calculator works fine and has good spacing for keypad but is mad yellow from the sun and screen has a blob on it melted into plastic but it works great. The at&t answering machines might make good project boxes. I have like 5 project boxes for a Raspberry PI.
PS2 FAT
Couldn't resist. 1 dollar for PS2 that was broken-cd try smash and screw missing from back. The controllers were $2 each but in great condition. I should have skipped the controllers and just bought the fat. I'll try and fix another broken ps2 fat I have or use as a project box. For some reason these broken PS2 go for around $30.00 on ebay- I haven't figured out why yet cause working ones with games go for that. Must be money laundering of other crazy ebay scams.
Plano Tackle box
Plano Tackle box, this is huge and I use it for my assorted computer parts. grabbed this for $2.00 it was unsued but garage filthy. Absolutely no fish smell in this bad boy.
Golf shoes and glove
Yard sale for $2.00, cleaned up nice, been so long since I last golfed I have metal spikes and courses don't seem to allows those anymore, so I now have a pair ready for use, getting hammered at best ball tournaments is just to much fun I must be prepared!
Compaq SR-1503wm
Grabbed this for $5.00 last fall. At the time I needed a second computer and this was definitely a used computer but I got it running. I regret buying it as the power supply fan puts out smells like the persons house which I can tell you stinks like musty moldy crap covered in febreeze and its a celeron weakling without AGP or PCI express.. I'm going to take it apart and hit it with the air compressor again and use the parts in other projects as you can see that has already begun. Stink is a real issue with yard sales items.
PS2 games
14 PS2 games for $10.00. This is an example of just buying the lot. The lady selling them wanted 2$ a piece I gave her the $10.00 for all and she didn't hesitate.

Nascar09, Nascar07, Rockband, Shrek 2, CSI 3 Demisions of Murder.
PS2 games
Yard sale $1.00 each. I try to get all games like this for a dollar each unless its a game I know is rare or that I want to play. I will attempt to grab a larg lot at a price lower than a dollar if they have many that works most of the time. these were all in great condition. MVP06, Wolverine's Revenge, Backyard Football, Tiger Woods 04, NCAA 2k3.
Monitor,keyboard, calculator
