I enjoy going to garage and estate sales. The thrill of finding amazing deals and the art of the haggle. Maybe others here do to. Feel free to share your bargain treasures as well.
My most recent score found on the way home from church at an estate sale. I found a few boxes with misc fishing gear and one full of fly hooks and a few materials. Most of the hooks were labeled $1-$4/box. Sunday was half off and last day so time to haggle..... I brought the box up and found the one to wheel and deal with. I showed her the box and asked for a bulk deal. My wallet was light so I only had $30 to offer and to my surprise she accepted.
There are no less than 60 packs of hooks, mostly 100 count and practically full. There were also a few packs of Partridge which look pricey. There also were around 15 lures, a couple I never heard of and two old school super dupers in the tubes. Now my daughter and I have no shortage of hooks for years to come.
