Hey David - I'm curious as I've thought about doing the same in my area but haven't bothered yet. Do you (or anyone else that does this) ever find any cards there?

Bose Wave. Purchased for $7 + tax. Sold on eBay for $177.50. That's $170 profit.

2 antique hammered copper pitchers (pictured below) about 125 years old (1890's?). Purchased for $8 each + tax. Sold on my bulletin board at work for $80 and that was a bargain. About a $60 profit.
There are 4 Goodwill stores probably within a 15 mile radius from my house. I hit all 4 on a weekly basis (along with some thrift stores) and do quite well turning the merchandise. All the profits go right into my bb cards collection so I don't have to hear my wife complain about how much I spend on cards  |
