My flip quest has taken quite the unconventional turn ...

For those of you who have participated in, or have been following along with my flip quest you have seen that it has changed quite a bit recently. It went from just baseball, to baseball, soccer, hockey, football, racing, basketball, etc.

 Well, folks - we have reached another level.

 This might give you feelings like Allen & Ginter did when they started introducing duck callers with a piece of their flannel into their boxes, but here it is for better or for worse. I personally think it is better, because it diversifies things so much more.

 I want to keep this mainly baseball, but last night, I was considering going with my wife to garage sales in the morning. After a string of bad luck at them, I decided to take a breather from them. I was having too much fun making cards Saturday mornings anyway! Then it hit me - I am sitting on a good amount of cash generated from my flip quest to re-invest. I have a small card show tomorrow, and a bigger one the next weekend (Tri-Star ... my Christmas!) but thought about something else. Why not use some of the money to invest in garage sale goodness?

 So I did.

 Some of you might think I'm looney for getting this stuff. And please, don't try this at home - leave this to the professionals, or you may get strange looks from your wife asking why you bought a 20 foot tall blow up cake to re-sell. (No, I didn't get a 20 foot blow up cake ... this time.)

 I was considering not showing what I paid for each thing, but what the heck ... I loathe when people post pics of what they bought, and leave out what they paid! I'll get straight to it. Today, I invested $68 into the following items to re-sell or trade:

 Some kids play things: ($5)



Epson Ultra Hi-Definition Printer (no usb cord) $20 - this was purchased at a fund raiser for a child in need of medical attention.

61 serving plates from an Applebee's restaurant $8 - this is my "WHAT THE HECK AM I DOING?" purchase for the day - I have at least one each time I go out garage saling!

5 security cameras $15 - I am probably going to keep one for my family, and give one to my folks

Medium Panthers jersey #23 .50

Laminated autographed menu by Paula Deen and her sons .50 - I forgive you for all the racial things you said, Paula ... as long as the menu sells!

Windows Vista $1

Mega Bloks set $2

Scrapbooking Machine $16

Over all, I feel like I did pretty good! Some items may take some time to sell, but hopefully they will all sell VERY QUICKLY and for A LOT so I can roll it all back into my flip quest!
