: Lucky stiff. I live in the hell called Central Kentucky. All the good you may
: find at garage sales is the Nintendo crap. The books are westerns and
: romance novels. (No Marathon connection mythos there!) Oh, and the ash
: trays. And sometimes guns. And lots and lots of knives.

Heh, up here in Upstate New York, the sales are great. My girlfriend's family goes to them regularly, buying stuff, then selling it every Sunday at a flea market, or, if it seems valuable, on eBay. A couple weeks ago, they found a toy bus from the 20s out at sales that someone wanted $250 for, so they called me to check up on it online. Turned out a mint condition one went for over $13,000 at an antique toy auction in Allentown, Penn. This wasn't mint, but yesterday at 9:32 PM it ended on eBay, bringing in $4,730. Aren't garage sales great? :-)
