I always stop at garage sales. 90% of the time its junk you dont care about, but when you finally find a killer deal, it all pays off.

Some guy on tinkers guild found a Sheridan KP2 SC at a garage sale for like $20. Thats about a $600 paintgun on ebay.

I bought my Sheridan KP2 for 40 and was really shocked because the person I bought it from actually looked at Ebay before selling. I assume he knew I was going to actually mess around with it and not just instantly turna profit.

pfft. All they have at garage sales near me are old clothes, and some rusted out tools.

Friends of mine pick up guns at them all the time, but all I can find are board games that are missing pieces, and baby toys that have some creepy looking stains on them.

I had one friend of mine pick up 2 original civil war sharps rifles (not carbines) for 75 bucks apiece. Keep in mind, that reproductions of the same rifle are about 1200 bucks.

Yeah, garage ales usually suck here too, one of my friends had a garage sale right next to their house that was selling a paintballgun for $20, and they didn't think to tell me until the sale was over :(
Yeah, sometimes they have some cool stuff.

I love garage sales. Usually all I find is game boys and stuff, but a $5 game boy can sell for $55 on ebay if you sell it right.

I've yet to find a paintball gun for sale at an auction, but then again I don't go very often either.
Is God real? You'll find out when you die.

Okay, I don't have a clever signature zinger. So sue me.
