I went to a scrapbooking yard sale today. Got about $200 worth of old style CM stuff (that's what I prefer) for $40. People were selling packs of paper and short cuts for $1, sticker packs for $1, page protectors for $1. I couldnt believe it. I could have bought a lot more!!!

I love scrapbook store yard sales - they are the best. My local store had their sale this weekend. I came home with a RIDICULOUS amount of paper and some fibers for a few dollars. So fun!!! My kind of shopping

we had a sale around here once but the prices were rediculous so I didn't buy much.

My SU upline hosts one every year and it's always good. She collects all the stamps and accessories that her customers want to sell and holds a huge garage sale!

I went to a sale at a store in a neighboring town, and I promise some of the exact stuff in the yard sale could be purchased cheaper on the store shelves. I wasn't impressed. I decided to try the sale in my hometown this weekend, and I'm so glad I did. Most things were 25/50/75 cents. I got lots of fibers in a bag for 50 cents. I got some 12x12 paper packs with 50-75 sheets for $1 and $2. So... I've learned it just depends on the location as to if the prices are reasonable.

i wish we would have one around here!!

You definitley have to know your prices. I went to one yard sale where they were selling CM stuff for basically reg. price then another one where they were selling shortcuts for $1, stickers for $1, etc. Even at this yardsale prices varied from table to table. One person might be selling a pack of paper for $1 and another $5. Although if its something I want and they dont sell it anymore, I still consider $5 to be pretty good.
