Eli was in the neighborhood looking for a new car (after his accident before the KMFDM concert), and stopped by to ask if I wanted to get lunch. We went to Five Guys in Eli’s car. On the way back, I persuaded him to check out this yard sale sign we had sign on the way up. So this was only a single yardsale.
And *everything* was a quarter at this yard sale. Being around 1PM, they just wanted to finish up. “We just went to get out of here so we can get drunk”, they said.
Total spent between the 2 of us was a whopping $1 or so. But we got a good $50 worth of stuff, and the whole endeavor only took 10 minutes. Pretty good for a 1-sale day.
$0.25 – Eli got a big chinchilla cage that barely fit in his car (you had to take it apart). He wanted a smaller travel-style cage. (EV:$30?)
$0.25 – Eli got some skewers for cooking. Being a master chef, he can definitely use these more than most. “25 cents each?”, he asked. “No! 25 cents for all of them!” (EV:$10?)
$0.25 – fan – I need a bigger one for DDR. It’s hard to have too many fans. (EV:$10?)
$0.25 – book: The Truth About Fonz – for a quarter, that cover is an awesome cover to possess. I really am not going to read this though, it’s just shelf-candy/joke-gift-fodder. (EV:$2)
No, the fan I got was not as cool as this one.

Awesome! I was out of town in North Carolina during this excursion. I was wondering how it came to be that Eli ate lunch and yardsaled with Clint. Now I finally have the answer that it was because he was looking for a car. :)
