Garage Sales 1

Garage sales is really a great place to find cheap and good used stuffs. Last Saturday, i made a trip drove around and looked for good deal, guess what i got? haha, all the toys for my daughter. First is the wooden block toy, there are some paint missing on the block but it still looks good to me and i asked the owner : how much do you sell this? $0.50... my mind is thinking, really $0.50? are you sure, wood stuff, it will cost me at least RM20 in Malaysia... quickly pay my money and grab it.. And all the books cost me $2 only.

Then i came to Karen's house who has all her garage full of all sorts of toys and I was impressed on how many stuff she has, infact most of it looked new. The barbie doll is a new one and only cost $1.50. Is Hillary Duff as Sam in A Cinderella Story. She is my favourite disney movie star. Nice but is not for me la.. i am too old to play barbie doll. Keke Of course is for my girl.. but she scared of barbie doll now, not even dare to touch and ask mummy to show her from far :):) haha... Best deal of the day is the basket ball only cost 1 dime.. no bargain needed. :)

Bargain of the day, i am still at the house that full of toys... looking and searching.. then i start to chit chat with the owner ... bla bla bla.. and found that her son is working in Toy'r'us. And most of the toys there are display model toys given by toy'r'us and are brand new. Well, i am eyeing on one of the kitchen toy set... the sale price $35.... hmm.. is expensive.. but she said is only 1/3 of the original price and is brand new. I try to bargain to lower the price, she only manage to give me $25.

$25 to me is still expensive... My heart is not tempted, i do believe i can get a lower price... so I told Karen, if no one would buy it over the weekend, i will pay $10 for the kitchen.. this is my phone number, give me a call :). Then i left. :) Sunday morning as usual i went to church and went to a friend's baby shower after church and only came home about 6pm. So there is a phone message. Ahha... is Karen, her son say is ok to sell me for $10. So, me and hubby and my daughter make a trip to their house..... and i checked and checked through the item and i found the drawer was being screwed down and not able to move... her son wanted me to give him some time so he can fix it for me.. .. and "ting" i told him, why dont you teach me how to do it and i will do it myself but you have to give me some discount... And he offered me $7, i said $6.....

Haha... I got it at $6.. I bring the item home happily and hubby was telling me... ooooooh... you are so great... $6 is impressive. And I found the product website http://www.step2.com/ and the original cost is $99.99.....

And now.. i am in love with garage sales... muahahhahaha. I am happy to see my girl have more toys to play :):) where i only pay for low price. She really loves her kitchen, she was cooking donut, soup, noodles for me.. $6 is really a good deal from a good bargainer....
