    My sister and BIL sell books and other stuff on E-bay. They hit up estate and garage sales most every weekend. They brought me a couple of old book from the 1920, that have all kinds of stuff in them, setting up a homestead, farming, tool making, bridging, building shop buildings, etc. They were 2 of 12 in a box of books for $5.
    I guess I need to get out and start looking.

    Few weekends ago, Coleman propane lantern, heater, and 8 1lb bottles for $45. Both were unused in the boxes.

    This weekend just a full set of SAE and metric Allen keys for $2.

    Love flea markets and yard sales. I check craigslist for them every week.

    Great stuff available if you don't let the outward appearance scare you off.
    I picked up a Coleman 2 burner gas stove and gas lantern at a church thrift store for $1 (yes a buck) each. I felt guilty!
    War is ugly, but to be dominated by aliens is even uglier!

    I got 4 Buckeye chickens off Craigslist for $25.00 cause the wife wanted them....2 cocks, 2 hens. 3 days later and 5 eggs so far. I am not to upset with the buy.

    (She said she wanted the 2 sets so we could breed them in the near future)
    Be ready now, you won't have that chance later.

    I'm not familiar with the breed but with that production already you'll make your money back pretty quick.

    I had never seen a garage sale where you could buy farm animals. Interesting.

    Bacpacker, They are the only chicken breed that was produced by a female and they originated in Ohio (Buckeye name)--

    RJ, She advertises on Craigslist for chickens, bunnies, turkeys and ducks. Not really a garage sale but I was pleasently surprised.
    Be ready now, you won't have that chance later.
