Here is attempt 2. Note: Linking to Google Photos for images does not work here for some reason.
This is a discussion thread to post pictures of some of the weird stuff you see (and/or buy) at garage sales, estate sales, thrift stores, flea markets, auctions, etc. I’m talking about those items that make you turn your head and go “hmmmm…” or “wow” or “what the heck?”.
I’ve been trying to photograph strange items I see at sales for about the last year. I was going to create a blog with these, but I never really had enough pictures to make it viable on its own. I’ll try to post pictures periodically here and I’m hoping others will post pictures, too.
Please include a description under the photo link describing what it is and where you saw it (and how much they were asking, if you remember). If you actually bought the weird item, please note if you were able to sell it and for how much.
This was at an estate sale. It was a human-size paper mache bear. The shirt says “Grateful Bears.” It had already sold when I got to the sale, so apparently it was a hot item. Have no idea why someone made this.
Someone framed a cow chip. As you can see, the estate sale company deemed that crap was worth $10.
I found the title to this high school reunion book to be poorly worded.
Found this at a church sale. Someone must have really loved this clip art, as they made full size framed portraits of it to hang on the wall.
For the ultra-active grandparents.
I bought this for a buck at a high-end estate sale. Sold it a few months later for I think about $15.
Somebody at the estate sale was being funny with price on this one.
