5/5/12 Purchase Summary

I spent $1.25 on four items today. The first item was a Nerf gun: the Recon CS-6 for $0.50. According to the Nerf wiki it's pretty popular gun so I'm confident it will sell. I have it listed on Craigslist for $18 but I expect to get closer to $10. My other three items were acquired at one sale. I bought a snowman Christmas decoration for my mom for $0.50; I was going to keep it until her birthday until I realized how big it is. She'll be getting it for Mother's Day. I also bought a Flamingo Floater (sorry I can't post an image but Flickr doesn't let you embed its images and my own photographs are awful). It's an inflatable flamingo with a ring-shaped body into which you place a matching glass so you can enjoy your beverage in the pool. I had one of these from a garage sale free pile that I brought to a Hanukkah party gift exchange; it provided popular so I figured I could repeat it for $0.25. The last item I purchased (well, my friend purchased -- it was $2 per bag of books and she was kind enough to place my book in her bag) was an Agatha Christie collection. My sister only has one of the novels in the collection so I got lucky. It will make a good birthday gift, especially since it looks new.
