A lot depends on where you live. I've yard saled most of my life and have only found traps at yard sales 2 times.

Just wanted to show off. This is the second nice batch of traps we have picked up this summer at yard sales. How many of you yard sale? It is amazing the goodies you can find. Got all the items in the picture at one sale today. Hope everybody is doing good and getting ready for trapping season, it is just around the corner.
You have to say how much you paid for everything. That tells how good of a find it was.

I love yard sales. Im addicted to haggling and making deals. I enjoy every minute of it. Recently went to an estate sale and scored a williams 3/4 ratchet in great condition for a couple bucks. What is the item on the far right? Cant make it out, is it a saw set? you have very good eyes and must know your stuff. that is an old saw set , different from any we have seen before.

You have to say how much you paid for everything. That tells how good of a find it was. If we told you, you would head this way and be our competition at the sales, or you would say why did they pay that much for those traps.

I would venture to say its about 1 in 10 or more that are good. 1 in 100 for the big score (items worth 100+). Not bad when you hit up 20 a day I got an early Zippo for 5.00 that was worth 475.00 a couple weeks ago. You get a feel as you drive by whether it is any good or not. Being first in helps too. agree with you 100%, lots of bad ones out there, but a good one makes you keep going. we stop even if it looks like all clothes , we stop and look and ask. got a lot of good stuff by asking at these sales that don't look like much. it is a job doing this 3 days a week, but it is fun. we are hoarders, our house if full of junk.

Ain't lot of trappers in St. Louis County! Most every time i go to Wally World buy my permit, the clerk gets a stupid look on it's face, (sic) and I have to explain it. LOL
