last fall, found a pastel pink tie-dyed bowling ball in a white bag. Some lucky brat from the past had her custom bowling ball. 😉 Got if for $5, he put the ball in the garden and threw out the bag, I argued that the bag was not trash! I envisioned a cool messenger back for a modster on a fixie? 😛

My trash guy gets a lot treasures, vacs, doors, garage junk, he takes it all, he must pick at some if it?

Loved the Q&A on the link page:

Sadly, I don’t go to garage sales. Does a $50 queen sized bed from Craigslist count? They were moving out of state and had to unload everything fast. It was nearly new.

I was glad to get it. The puppy was getting too big to share a twin any more.
