For those of you who have participated in, or have been following along with my flip quest you have seen that it has changed quite a bit recently. It went from just baseball, to baseball, soccer, hockey, football, racing, basketball, etc.

 Well, folks – we have reached another level.

 This might give you feelings like Allen & Ginter did when they started introducing duck callers with a piece of their flannel into their boxes, but here it is for better or for worse. I personally think it is better, because it diversifies things so much more.

 I want to keep this mainly baseball, but last night, I was considering going with my wife to garage sales in the morning. After a string of bad luck at them, I decided to take a breather from them. I was having too much fun making cards Saturday mornings anyway!

Then it hit me – I am sitting on a good amount of cash generated from my flip quest to re-invest. I have a small card show tomorrow, and a bigger one the next weekend (Tri-Star … my Christmas!) but thought about something else. Why not use some of the money to invest in garage sale goodness?

 So I did.

 Some of you might think I’m looney for getting this stuff. And please, don’t try this at home – leave this to the professionals, or you may get strange looks from your wife asking why you bought a 20 foot tall blow up cake to re-sell. (No, I didn’t get a 20 foot blow up cake … this time.)

 I was considering not showing what I paid for each thing, but what the heck … I loathe when people post pics of what they bought, and leave out what they paid!

I’ll get straight to it. Today, I invested $68 into the following items to re-sell or trade:

 Some kids play things: ($5)

Epson Ultra Hi-Definition Printer (no usb cord) $20 – this was purchased at a fund raiser for a child in need of medical attention.

61 serving plates from an Applebee’s restaurant $8 – this is my “WHAT THE HECK AM I DOING?” purchase for the day – I have at least one each time I go out garage saling!

5 security cameras $15 – I am probably going to keep one for my family, and give one to my folks

Medium Panthers jersey #23 .50

Laminated autographed menu by Paula Deen and her sons .50 – I forgive you for all the racial things you said, Paula … as long as the menu sells!

Windows Vista $1

Mega Bloks set $2

Scrapbooking Machine $16

Over all, I feel like I did pretty good! Some items may take some time to sell, but hopefully they will all sell VERY QUICKLY and for A LOT so I can roll it all back into my flip quest!
