Estate Sale

[t206blogcom]

I've used the www.estatesales.net site quite a bit as well. I haven't scored anything big sports-related. The only baseball stuff I come across are 80s/90s wax junk or late 70s. I remember one sale had 4 shoe boxes of cards - mostly baseball, but some old basketball - all from mid-to-late 70s. The cards were well loved and had a few stars like Steve Garvey and Pete Rose. I can remember a few people trying to grab the boxes and they ended up fighting over them, which started a price war with the cashier. In the end, one guy paid $300+ for 3 shoe boxes of very worn cards.

On another note, not baseball related, I did strike a great deal on two Canon lenses for my digital SLR. Retail the two lenses were $4k+ and I paid $900 for both (no haggle - that was the listed price).

the estate sales just don't sit right with me........I'm not judging anyone, just feel bad for the person who passed and everyone having a "free for all" party going through your stuff...

just a little morbid to me......like I said, not judging and saying there is anything wrong with it....

if it were me and everyone was having a party with my shit, id haunt them

I've dropped by quite a few when I was out doing Saturday morning errands and even though some were at very nice houses where obviously people were well-to-do, I've never seen anything on the sports side that was worthwhile.
