Love garage sales! This weekend is the annual 'Garage Sale Trail'. It is held Australia wide and the website www.garagesaletrail.com.au has a search facility so you can find where the garage sales are in your area. They are a great way to source old hand tools, farming books, cooking utensils etc. for your prepping. Another way to look at it is to buy unrelated prepping items with the thought to sell and put the money toward something you have been wanting. About 5 years ago we went to a garage sale where I picked up a painting for $1 that to me looked a lot like the works of May Gibb. It was put away in a cupboard until hubby remembered it recently. The artist was Margaret Clarke who painted at the same time as May Gibb. I also discovered there was a website which displayed her other works. We took the painting to an art auction house and to make a long story short, we sold it for $1,000. We put our windfall into our prepping. eBay can be a great friend to those who love garage sales and prepping!!!!!

A thousand bucks for a $1 purchase? Well done.
