$60 Yard Sale Haul!!!!

[Atom#28]

Whoa. Just found this bonsai stuff at a yard sale, bought it all for $60. How did I do?

 

[Silentrunning]

You are set for a long time to come. Congratulations on a great deal.

 

[AZbonsai]

Nice haul!

 

[coh]

I need to start going to yard sales.

 

[atlarsenal]

Awesome!!! I stop at yard sales a good bit when I have time but I don’t ever find ones like that!

 

[Bonsai Nut]

Not too many yard sales with annealed copper wire...

 

[PABonsai]

So, basically you bought two used tools and got the rest for free....

That's one of those "if my wife knew what I paid for it" situations.

Yeah it blew my mind. I only came for the pots. They charged me $20 for ALL of them. Then I saw the tools and books and wire in the corner and offered $40.

“How did I do?”, he says. Pfft. You know. You know! Nice job man.

You'll have to let us know you don't want it all and decide to offload some pots.

 

[Atom#28]

You know. You know! Nice job man.

They were so happy to get rid of it they probably would’ve taken $20 for it all. But my conscience, tho

 

[Woocash]

Yea I was thinking that after the 20 for the pots. They really, diddled you on the rest of it. Sucker!

Who died?

Who died?

My thoughts, exactly.

I’ve seen this sort of fire sale thing happen with the contents of workshops, and gun collections, upon the death of a husband.

 

[Hartinez]

Holy shit. You cleaned up.

 

[Hartinez]

I keep looking at the pics thinking that there is no way!! 34 plus pots there. And the wire alone is such a score.

Did you know there would be pots to go for?

Well the pot with the chop between the feet is Touyou, and the other pot with the chop and writing is 3rd generation Yamaaki. Both from the Tokoname region, and each worth at least $60 on their own. If the Yamaaki is the large unglazed banded rectangle in the front left, it is worth a couple hundred. Looks like a couple hundred in wire too. Congrats, it’s a great haul.
