estate sale/ceiling fans

A ceiling fan is not much. Here they classify it as a light motor and it pays $0.07, so a 20# fan would get you $1.40. Ok, I am going to put this as nicely and delicately as I can and I don't mean to be insulting. If you do not have enough money to buy an old ceiling fan from an estate sale, you do not have enough money to buy Ramon noodles for dinner. I hunt garage sales with $100 in my pocket and another three in the truck. If you don't have $20 to burn... TO BURN, you need to learn to budget your money more effectively. There would be enough change under my floor mat to buy a ceiling fan I was getting to scrap.

For me, garage sales MAKE ME MONEY. Take $20 and put it in an envelope.
Only buy from a garage sale;
TO BUY SOMETHING TO SERIOUSLY IMPROVE YOUR LIFE (and many times, I will replace the garage sale purse money used for personal use with money earned for living expenses)
or SOMETHING YOU THINK YOU CAN FLIP TO MAKE MONEY.
Take what you make and put it back into your garage sale purse. DO NOT USE GARAGE SALE PURSE MONEY TO BUY BEER AND CIGS! ONLY PULL MONEY OUT OF THE GARAGE SALE PURSE TO GET MORE MONEY TO PUT INTO YOUR GARAGE SALE PURSE.

I have put thousands of dollars away that is there to use to put into anything I think I can flip to make money or to purchase investments I believe will be a store of wealth AND IT ALL STARTED WITH A $20 BILL.

I don't do the garage sale thing(yet), but your advice is absolutely 100%. I work out of a "kitty" also. It can be referred as working capital. Put it back and you'll have the cash for (insert choice), instead of "f$$$, I don't have any money."

Once you have a little surplus in your account, invest in some decent hand tools. Than power tools. Or vice versa, as needed. Make some more money and put it back. Money makes money.
