Well Stormfeather and I hit up an auction today and i scored some silver coins and 10 boxes of 12 gauge slugs. picked up 3 new survival knives and a compound bow. I also picked up a 12 gauge shot gun and a .22 rifle. added 20 pounds of rice and 6 pounds of beans to my storeage food. My 12 year old daughter also completed her huners safety course a couple weeks ago. All in all a pretty eventful month for me.

Filled up (16) 2 liter empty Coke and Dew bottles. Shelved em and will refill em in 6 months along with more bottles that I am drinking. Oh and yes I have an addiction to pop... drink it now cause SHTF moment means no more. (Not wasting the 6month old water will clean hands/fill pond/flush with it)

Took the day off and went to a flea market, bought food and tapped deeper into spring. Watched the lightening bugs show that they put on while listening to our porch band a pickin. It don't get any better than this.

So Jericho and I went to a gun store auction. Apparently this place was going out of business. Since it was the place he scored that brand new Colt sporter for $500. . . I went to make sure I didnt miss out on anything!

Picked up 20 boxes of Remington 12 ga slugs for $2.00 a box.
4 Compound bows for $10.00 each, all in excellent condition
1 Oil lamp, $2.00
5 Cast Iron skillets, slight rusty, but cleaned up great! $5.00 ($1.00 each)
5 pre-64 Silver dollars at $13.00 each
10 silver dimes (forgot how much, but was cheap)
assorted 1950's canadian silver coins (exremely cheap)

Passed on the rifles and shotguns they was selling, but they sold most of them for around $50 a pop.

All in all, was a great time! Now have to concentrate on restocking the freezer with meats because apparently Ive canned it all and have ran out!

^ good score(s)!

[bacpacker]

Very good score. I wish i could find a going out of business down here that had half of that stuff at anyjwhere near those prices.

The silver started selling at a really high price til I went out to the concession stand and was making "idle small talk" so people could overhear me about how people were extremely overpaying on the silver, since spot price was down to $27.00 Even the auctioneer commented as bidding slowed down wondering if the silver price dropped during the break! I saw silver dollars started selling at $45-$50 bucks a pop, and knew there was some uneducated folks buying it up! turned out a few folks checked it out on their phones and saw I was right and the word spread. Wasnt trying to be a ass or anything, just trying to work the market in my favor.
