Lynn and I went shopping at the local Salvation Army yesterday, after she got off work, as we wanted to pick up a few things for the cruise. (Yes, that's ONE way we cut expenses) Wednesday is 1/2-price day BTW (for clothing and accessories like shoes, purses, etc) and we really scored some nice clothes. (don't knock it 'til you've tried it) ;)
Of course, I always scour the "junk" side of the store for odds & ends I can re-sell on The Bay. Dang, there wasn't much that caught my eye, but I did score a few cool items!
I found an old Penn Peerless No. 9 baitcaster reel that looks brand-spankin' new ... NO sign it's ever been used ... and picked it up for $6.99. I listed it this afternoon and the bidding was up to $31.00 within the first two hours! Heck, there's still a week to go.

I also found a set of three Gerber, full tang, walnut handled, kitchen knives ... an 8" slicer, a 5 1/2" utility and a 4" paring knife. An identical set just sold last week for $101.00! I'll be listing these tonight. As an added bonus, they were in a Wusthof (Solingen) box and I can sell the box itself for an easy $10. ;)

I have a few other goodies I stumbled upon, but I think these are the things that would most interest this crowd. Heck, I gots a cruise to pay for, ya' know? :D
