We have one once (sometimes twice) a year.

Since I retired at 52, I go to estate sales/auctions almost weekly. I sell smaller items on eBay and Craig's List but I sometimes purchase large items (furniture, etc.) that I cannot ship.

I buy anything that I think I can flip for a profit, old books, car parts, paintings, silver, antiques, collectibles, furniture and unusual/unique items.

We get lots of repeat 'customers' each year (I run a similar ad in the papers each time) ...many are people that have shops/store front businesses.

Worst sale total was about $1100 ...best was about $2800 (several antique furniture pieces in that one)

Makes for a fun weekend once/twice a year.
