Yup, I went yardsaleing.

So my buddy convinced me to go yardsaleing with him.

He always gets stupid deals on stuff and sells them on e-bay.

Spread out over 5 yardsales I got:

Dell Dimension 2200
Monitor
keyboard
Lexmark printer
unopened printer cartriges
new 17" monitor with flat screen
Belkin wireless Pre-N desktop network card pc/notebook still in box
d-link 2-port kvm switch don't know what i'm going to do with it
used bearcat scanner

all for $120

just hooked it all up and it is piiiimp. Maybe yardsaleing isn't gay after all.

It's only gay if you keep calling it yardsaleing. Why don't you try something like "I got some killer deals at a few garage sales this weekend" and put down your appletini.

Ha ha looks like some good freaking deals though. Hope everything actually works by the time you get home.

I think that statement is right on the money!

Isn't there an ebay forum somewhere?

What the HELL? I saw you got all that computer stuff, and I was like "I bet he's from San Francisco...." then I saw your avatar and saw you're the one from the middle of nowhere. I'm in Maine (though admittedly one mile from NH) too, and I NEVER see computer shit for sale at yardsales! And for that cheap? You should sell it all....could make a quick buck. The monitor alone is worth more than $120.

Ha ha I was thinking the same thing.

Man, back when the dot-coms crashed, the yardsales and corporate sales were EPIC! You could get $10,000 servers for like $500. Office furniture was a steal too - some companies had dropped for $1k high end desk chairs that you could pick up for under $100. Too bad I was in college at the time and couldn't really use anything that was up for grabs.

The dell came from some lady that just got divorced and was selling her husband's shit. My buddy told her it probably wasn't even compatable with current operating systems. ($80)

My buddy convinced another lady that the dump charged $20 to dispose of a monitor because it had mercury in it. ($4 with 3 pimping cordoroy hats)

The wireless router came from some super rich people that didn't really care, my buddy bought one of those upright coolers with the glass front you see in convienence stores it said sobee on the side. He paid $40 and was offered $1200 later that day. He turned it down.

THis bastard that I went with does this as a side job and has a garage full of crap. He won't leave home without his wallet and an Uncle Henry's.
