I didn't actually go garage saling this weekend. I did what I did on March 10th: I took a morning walk through my neighborhood and stopped at any sales I found. Today I only found one and it was terrible; it was made entirely of clothing.
Going out today I did happen to stop at another sale because it was on the route I usually take anyway. This house frequently has sales (this is the fourth one I've seen since December) and I always stop because the sales are usually pretty good. Today I did not leave disappointed: I bought a TI-83 graphing calculator for $0.50.
The calculator is missing the sliding cover and the battery cover. Other than these somewhat major flaws, it's in perfect condition; I expect to get anywhere from $30-$50 for it.
Yesterday I sold one of the books I purchased two weeks ago. After Amazon's fees, my cut comes to around $11.72. Shipping will be $3-$4, so in the worst case I'll be getting ~$7.75 off a $0.10 investment. It's not much, but it at least pays for my portion of the gas money for that trip.
