Auction finds

This table and chair set we picked up for just $75 at auction. The table is wrought iron and concrete topped with beveled glass, with lion head accents; and the chairs are upholstered in a detailed fabric.

Cage

This is a metal garage shelving unit we turned into a bunny cage. It has a removable wood top and bottom (not shown here)

Pond

This is a pond kit we found on clearance. We added a perimeter of small rocks and mulch, both of which we picked up for free.

This shelf unit was free because it was falling apart.

A few screws, some glue, patch the finish, and there we have it!

Wall Unit

This wall unit was a family project. Originally, it was wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling bookcases and a set of drawers framing a window in a 20s farmhouse. It took a full day to detatch it from the wall. Then it was stained on each in to match the front, a top was added to the drawers, and shelves were added.

It was first used as an entertainment centre for a large Sony Trinitron. When we switched to flat screen tvs, it was made into a display case.

It's an extremely large unit, over 9 feet tall.

This item is not for sale.

Stroller, Vacuums

We picked up this Kelty Kids Jogging Stroller and it was in pretty good shape. We had to re-align the tubes in the tires, reinflate the tires, and give it a good wash. We listed it for $125 but took the first offer, which was $50, because we needed to free up some room for new inventory.

This Hoover bagless vacuum was tossed out to the curb on trash day. We salvaged it, and it was already in working order. We cleaned it up and gave it away free to a large family we knew needed one.

This Hoover bagless vacuum was also set out to the curb for trash. It worked but needed cleaned up, emptied out, the brushes and rollers cleaned out, etc. Once in good shape again, it sold for just $30! A real bargain!
