    Awesome congrats!

    Off topic sort of: I never find deals at yard sales/flea markets. I'm always looking for archery and old school BMX stuff. I was into BMX big time as a kid and I got my nephew into it. So I am always looking for bikes of my youth to rebuild and ride with him lol.

    $400 was a good price with all the accessories! $280 is just absurd

    A couple of ladies in a small town about 15 miles from here were having a yard sale a couple of weeks ago and a client of mine was driving by on his way to Des Moines and noticed their yard was full of outdoors gear. Funny thing was, it was all HIS gear that had been stolen out of his shed a week earlier. He called the Sheriff and got almost everything back. Charges were filed and they now have to go to court.

    My guess is that someone lost a bow. Yard sales have become a common way to move stolen property.

    That's insane. But I guess in yard sales there's no paper trail.
