[QUOTE="del2les, post: 3099322, member: 9299"] Yea. It is a hit or miss proposition, but every so often, gold! Before Covid, I guess about one in four or five estate sales we would find hunting/shooting and reloading supplies of enough quality and quantity to make it all worth it. Yard sales a little less, but it had become kinda' a spring hobby for us for a few years. After a while, we learned the better towns/cities and areas and not waste as much time. Over a few years, we have purchased many thousands of dollars of tools, hand and power, building supplies, various hunting/shooting/reloading supplies, all types of fishing equipment/supplies, optics, spotting and telescopes, etc, etc. All for mere pennies on the dollar. Sometimes, we find items given to us for free, so the relatives of the deceased do not have to pay to have it hauled off. For often, they have no real knowledge of the value nor purpose of the items their deceased relative possessed. I've freely received cases of shotgun shells, electric lead melting/casting pots, untold pounds of lead either in molded form or wheel weights, cleaning kits, bags of unsorted supplies, etc, etc. And every so often, invited into the house to discuss a few firearms for sale. Placing a free "want to buy" ad in a local sale catalog and/or similar online sales source can generate a few decent leads and opportunities, but use discretion due to potential scammers and crooks. Happy hunting. [/QUOTE]
