You got a great deal on all of that. We bought a dresser for my daughter. It was in pretty good shape. We replaced some of hardware and took some Old English polish to it and it looked so much better. My husband doesn't have a Facebook account but he used mine to sell our kayaks. I told him if he ever does it again that he has to start up his own account. People went freaking crazy about our kayaks. I thought my husband priced them too high (just $25 less than what we paid for them 4 years ago) and we had so many people wanted them. They were sold within 10 minutes, but I got messages for two days even though I was really good about immediately saying they were sold pending pickup the next day and that I'd update if the sale fell through a couple times on the listing. Even after they were marked sold and they were taken off the site shortly after I got more messages. I responded to all of the messages I got, but it made for a crazy 24 hours.
But now we have money to go buy another paddle board and can get a nice one with enough to go out to dinner too. My kids quit using the kayaks after we got our first paddle board and had been bugging us to get a second one. You just can't store all of this stuff so the kayaks had to go. When my kids are both grown up my husband and I plan to buy much better kayaks than the ones we just sold because kayaking really is enjoyable which I suppose is why people wanted them.

I don't go on Facebook, so nothing for me.
You got a great score, well done!

That was a good find! Target. Oh how I love you. I bought two shirts. One with multicolored pineapples on it, and another one in a pretty blue solid color. And hair dye from L’Oréal because I'm worth it SaveSave

The last thing I bought (besides groceries) was a Shutterfly photo book. It turned out nice!! About the stuff you bought, my very first thought was...could that stuff be stolen? Who would have all that new, unused, random stuff to sell? CVS/Rite Aid/Walgreen coupon shoppers. They work the ads to get the items for free or even money-makers, and then they sell them for pure profit. SaveSave

A small charcoal grill. The seller used it once for a tailgate party, cleaned it up, and sold it for $20. They threw in most of a huge bag of charcoal, a nearly full bottle of lighter fluid, an unopened pack of bamboo skewers, and a never used good quality grill pan (the flat tray ones with round holes). Ours had gotten blown into the fence and smashed in a storm and I happened to be browsing the local buy/sell group and found it.

I wanted a table and chair set off a Facebook page recently, but someone beat me to it. it was an outdoor set and it needed to be refinished, but I've been itching for a project like that to try, and the price was super fantastic. But I was too late!

Who would have all that new, unused, random stuff to sell? It's popular among hardcore couponers. There are a lot of people who post stockpile sales on our local buy/sell groups too. They buy it all for next to nothing by using the extreme coupon strategies, and then flip it for a profit. Even selling it cheap, they're still making some extra cash with it.

I don't think I've ever bought anything through a local buy & sell group. I have bought yarn and fabric through destashing groups and had to wait for them to ship it. I got nearly 10 yards of fabric for $3/yd and a bunch of undyed yarn for $10.
I have to stay away from those groups. They cost me money.
