I've got a good question:
How do you guys plan out your yard sale/garage sale/flea market days? Do you scour the newspaper, check Craigslist, or even use some of the new yard sale apps I've heard about? Do you draw out a map and work outward in a circle or something? I've never caught on to how to be 'efficient' at it. I always end up going to 1 or 2 of them and then my entire day is gone and all the good stuff is already sold, more than likely, so I end up going home. I can hit a couple local thrift stores, but never really flea markets or yard sales. Let me in on your secrets!

But, today I just ran across a garage sale that was in my neighborhood. I walked out with 3 complete PC games: Prey ($2), Dead Space ($2), and Quake 4 ($1). I'm feeling pretty good!
