My husband is eternally the bargain shopper. He loves to find great items cheap and if he finds a real treasure he tries to sell it on Ebay. We go to estate sales, yard sales, and other miscellaneous what I call junk shops and we are always looking for the treasures. My husband really believes that he has an eye for these things, but I am not sure as I have more stuff in my house right now than I could ever possibly sell on Ebay. Anyway, this past weekend we were at a yard sale. There aren't that many this time of year, because of the weather, but still if there is a sale in our area, we are up bright and early on Saturday morning going to it.

This particular yard sale was actually a neighborhood basement sale and it was huge. They had everything from clothing and kids games, to collectibles and knives. My husband was extremely focused on the knives and had looked at several of them before choosing 2 specifically that he wanted to purchase. As always he talked the seller down to near nothing, he is extremely frugal, or should I say cheap. Anyway, when we got home with the knives he began researching them on the internet, and he found that one was a Ka-Bar original knife 11-3/4-inch fighting and utility knife used in World War II. This item was in excellent condition, and he said that he knew that a Ka-Bar was a really good, really popular knife. Well, he was right, he listed it on Ebay for $150.00 and sold it within an hour.

He was really thrilled about the sale considering he had only spent $3 on the knife, however, then once he started thinking about how quickly it sold he felt he could have probably gotten a higher price on it. I don't know whether that is true or not, but he really did prove to me that he knows something about what he is doing. I guess I will have to stay off his back for now, at least as long as I am spending his profits.
