4 estate sales today. FOUR

should i start doing 'titles'? well, before i forget.
#1-far south side of milwaukee. a bit east of where i live. i thought it was maybe an old farmhouse, but it was built in 1942. cute. OK. not wow. BUT, as it was late, it was $3 bag time!
and what did i buy for $3? some only small candles(not votive), a single pepper or salt shaker-pheasant?, 2 primative stuffed animals-decor/cow and cat,an embroidered pillowcase, an amana woven blanket, small screwdriver, cutting board, and a roast fork.
#2- farther east and north to an old victorian section which is now hispanic. it was a flat in a newer little brick duplex. 1st floor. ooh, talk about some nice 1800's furniture. OOH! ball and claw feet! but alas, not much for me. i bought a VERY old hammer and a VERY old postcard framed between plastic. a 1907 birth announcement. could NOT resist.
#3-BAY VIEW!!! east side pack rats! well, it looked smaller on the outside. 2 story brick on a high high hill. try cutting THAT grass. ahh, but it had an attic as well. 4 floors in all. but as it was 'prestige', i didn't expect to buy much.
but i did spend $12. i bought another screwdriver, an old box of embroidery floss(ebay?) and an old kitchen scale-EBAY. 1/2 off of $20. i can make profit there!
#4 another 'prestige'sale, but of lesser interest.
i only found an old boric acid container(ebay). but the main dudes daughter mentioned the other sale, i said i had already been there, but another woman hadn't. so i gave the other lady directions. but she told us about the other house. sold unseen in 1 day. told me to guess how much. i said 250(K). yup. $250,000. location locatio location.
