spindle spider dot comHad a horrible 5am on site starttime in Kenosha for a job that could not have gone anymore badly. Worse yet, it was finally rescheduled for completion weeks later and I could not go as I was elsewhere. My colleague went in my stead and screwed things up so royally that he had to return […]
Rubbermaid totes and laundry baskets are the earmarks for a solid junk sale. I found this one via my old amigo gsalr.com on a Friday afternoon, way out in this rural area of NW Illinois. As I perused the crap I could hear rifle report way in the distance, somewhere beyond the seemingly infinite cornfields […]
Nothing better than waking up Saturday morning and checking your phone in bed and seeing on gsalr.com that there is a garage sale with records you can bike to that morning. Unless it’s raining. And you have to suddenly go to work. When all that was done I drove over there and found some major […]
I was about to go postal at work and the stress was starting to crush me. So I cleaned up what I had in front of me so I could sneak away for a bit. I sped off to FP to check out a sale I found on gsalr.com, as always. I was just around […]
I’ve had some serious garage sale guilt for not hitting more sales this year but things are finally picking up. I hit 8 in 2015 I believe so not sure if I’ll keep the pace but I am surely trying. gsalr.com revealed this one a scant 3 mile round trip from my work. I snuck […]
As there was no garage on site, and the goods were displayed in the church, I think this is better defined as a ‘rummage sale’. So I headed down to rummage around a bit. Had a hell of a time finding the place (no pun intended), the address is actually 130, not 30. They had […]
On a rainy Saturday afternoon, I was very pleased to find that of the 3 garage sales that had the word ‘records’ in their descriptions on gsalr.com, one of them was just a couple blocks from my girlfriends house. (the other two were 10-20 miles away). So I sped over on my bike through the […]
Easily one of the most awkward record transactions I have ever attempted to take part in. Had to run to the store and scoped this spot above on gsalr.com and it was basically on the way so we swung through. In fact, there were only two sales on the site which listed records in the […]
Shook my hangover and headed out to greet the day Sunday morning. gsalr.com had only two sales anywhere in the area with records and they were in opposite directions. Not being ambitious enough to try and hit both, I chose one on the north side and headed out around 10am. Just a bunch of the […]
There is truly nothing better than an impromptu garage sale on a Sunday morning, and one so close you can ride your bike there. The weather was perfect and I did not even have a hangover as I was so tired the night before I only made it through about three beers. I did make […]
