   Old books are my favorites. But usually there is nothing to be found at a yard sale. It takes a lot of searching to find one good piece.

   When I go to yard sales I rarely find anything "valuable"... I mainly look for CDs, books, and movies to add to my collections.

   It's hard to find valuable things at yard sales.  A large percentage of yard sales that I have been to seem to be stacked with piles of old clothes and home decor items.  Hardly valuable items. I like to look for tools, electronics, and fitness equipment however I rarely get lucky.  I also peruse their book and movie collections and every once in a while I find a good movie at a great price.  If the books are in decent condition I may buy a bunch of them with the hope of turning a profit by reselling them on Half.com

   I go for the books. Sometimes I'll look through their random stuff to see if there's anything cool. It really depends on how I'm feeling that day.
