TBone, I've started to wonder. How do you find the ESs and GSs?

I always thought the magic of them was driving down a road, seeing a sign and then going to one. I didn't realize one can plan their entire day in advance?

Very, very happy to report that my mother-in-law is finally home after over a week in hospital. Despite being fully vaccinated, in terrific health, relatively young (56), very active and having no underlying conditions, she got severe COVID. So severe her blood oxygen levels plummeted to 67%, which is when cyanosis sets in. She had some outstanding care at her local hospital and she is now resting at home with her boyfriend tending to her needs until a live-in nurse arrives later this week. She has been very, very ill for about 3 weeks, and having her on the mend and out of danger was the very best Christmas present of all. 

 

Stay safe everyone, times are really crazy right now out there. We are down two people over the weekend in my office -- both are self-isolating after exposure on Saturday to family members who went on to test positive on Sunday.

We typically dislike opportunistic (road-sign-advertised) GSs, si K2 ma'am.

These are usually last-minute and paltry, almost always K2 ma'am.

People put their signs too close to the turn-in street, have to U-turn K2 ma'am.

They also usually write microscopically in #2 lead pencil, can't read signs man.

Unless we are trawling a subdivision GS activity, we usually don't bother, no K2 ma'am.

 

Here is expert advice from an expert advisor, to wit we man K2 ma'am:

 

1.a.  For GSs/MSs, go to gsalr.com & type in ZIP Code of search area, si K2 ma'am.

1.b.  For ESs, go to estatesales.net & type in ZIP Code of search area, si K2 ma'am.

2.     Compile list as late as possible on the night before the safari, si K2 ma'am.

Many.  Use Bing Maps for planning routes, si K2 ma'am.

Many.  Pay attention to opening/closing times, can influence routes K2 ma'am.

Many.  Consider that ESs are more reliably held than are GSs, si and grrrr K2 ma'am.

Many.  Be suspicious of ESs advertised by "private parties" that might be the family itself, usually to be avoided for buyer interference K2 ma'am.

Special Monday ES report, see man:

 

As alluded to above, a weekend ES spilled over into Monday, attend we man.

The take, see man:

  -- Peanuts Treasury book for Mini-B.; book; funnel; weird Many-clawed kitchen or garden 

       implement = $Many-&-a-half ($2x2x2x2 - half a buck), OK* or rip-off man

Total = $Many-&-a-half ($2x2x2x2 - half a buck)

 

*this if we ignore this**, see man:

**everything was advertised at Many% ([2x2x2x2x2x2 + 2x2x2+1]%) off but was nowhere near that, just shut up if you're going to lie man

 

The above marked our first-ever ES-ing spanning Many (2+2) consecutive days, milestone for we man.
