Arrived at flea market at 6:30am. Got a Sony Sports Radio for a buck. Will resell on eBay for $20-25. I've sold about 7 or 8 of these before.

Got a couple of new 4GB SD cards for my digital recorder for $5 ea, a good deal.

Went yard saling afterwards and got a Panasonic Hard Drive camcorder for $15, with a dead battery. No way to test it, but I have good instincts and after I got a charger on eBay for $7, it worked great! Will probably use for recording music clips for YouTube.

On a whim, I bought a 4-record set of Jane Froman. Looked old, but for just $5 I thought it would be a good resale item. (Later, on eBay, I saw the foolishness of my folly. I'll be lucky to get $15-20 on eBay)

At a yard sale I got a small "Santa Rosa" electric guitar for a child for $4. I think I can get $60-70 for it.

Sat May 28, 2011

Today I got up at 5:30 am, showered and hit the Flea Market at 6:45, kinda late for me. But I managed to snag a black Fender Squier Strat for $35 with a gig bag, guitar stand and pro cord. The seller wanted $50 and I offered $35. He countered with $40 but I held firm. After all, I'm taking all the risks - does everything work? The seller said it was about 15 years old. Not sure where it was made. Hoping for a Japanese origin. Need to do some research to find out. I'll post more later.
