$60 Yard Sale Haul!!!!

[Hartinez]

Gangster!

K.k..kkkkkarma!

Sorce

Really though. @Atom#28 you must be one hell of a good dude.

The take away here is this... we ALL are dishonest when we tell our loved ones how much we "might" have spent on a new pot, tool, or roll of wire... I'm not going to sleep tonight.


Real good score today for you!!

It made me think of this.

Wonder if one has a loved one who passed...or bought a storage locker to clean out?

That is mind blowing the haul you took home.

 

[Atom#28]

Did you know there would be pots to go for?

yeah my in-laws saw bonsai books and called me. I told them to ask about pots and they said they were selling “a couple” for $5 each.

The family had just moved in to this house and the basement was completely full of stuff l. They just wanted it gone

My lucky day

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.

Right. I'm not being facetious. It's not a matter of did somebody, but who.
Too bad there's no trees to show for the dedication that was worn.
Would be right up the thread about our trees when we die. Hopefully the previous owners
family found homes for them, but...
Some history would be a nice accompaniment with the haul, often third party and not available
but I certainly would inquire.

So probably impossible to get any history. Too bad, but quite a haul indeed.
You must have gotten like 6 wire cutters? You make us drool. Like winning a small lottery.
Someone said you must be a good dude... ⚖

 

[j evans]

Nice find and if they just wanted it gone they won also. A "win-win". Enjoy!

 

[Bavarian Raven]

Like the tall blue pot there. Nice haul.
Would be nice to know the history behind it all though :/

[Potawatomi13]

BINGO! Quite a valuable bargain. May take awhile before you can even realize how big a one! The tools alone; several worth at least $50-60 each.

AND A HAGEDORN POT? SHIIIIII—

WHAT, really? Which one? rolleyesFound it, DUH!)

 

[just.wing.it]

Wow!
Great find!

I love yard sales, you struck gold!

 

[Atom#28]

I try. Every day.

AND A HAGEDORN POT? SHIIIIII—

That’s just the small one I got a few more in cleanup

Just shows where your $400 signed bonsai pots will go once you pass . This is not as unusual as it might seem. You're surviving relatives are probably not going to farm out your collection of pots, etc. to get the highest bid (unless you are a pretty well known "name" and have connections). More than likely, your valuable pots and other stuff is going to wind up in a garage sale. Squeezing the value out of bonsai pots is not a burden your relatives are going to shoulder, for the most part. That job is pretty much up to the original owner before they depart...Just sayin...

Holy shit dude... speechless.
