A Great Yard Sale Find !

Early last Saturday morning, I happened to swing by a yard sale being set up in my neighborhood.
At first glance, I noted there were a lot of kids' toys.  Thinking there might be some LEGO in the mix, I stopped to have a look.
Sure enough, I spied two boxed sets: one being a LEGO City set and the other a Minecraft set.
Three dollars each.  Nice!
I didn't have quite that much cash on me at the time, so I had the lady hold them for me while I went home a block away to get the necessary funds.
When I returned, she told me they had a huge bin of LEGO in the basement, and would I be interested in that?
Absolutely.
A few moments later, I was looking at a three drawer plastic bin rack - packed full of LEGO !!!
Now the million dollar question - How much are you asking for this?
"I don't know...how about $40 ?"
SOLD  !!!!
I had to make another trip home to get the extra cash....
Here is a pic of the overall purchase:


A quick look-through revealed the bottom drawer full of loose bricks.  I estimate close to a thousand individual pieces.   The other two drawers contained plastic bags holding LEGO sets in various stages of assembly.  Set instructions were included in the bags.
I estimate there are well over a dozen complete sets the stash.
To round things off there were a couple of large baseplates included.
Not bad for $46 !

Now, it's time to get busy cleaning, sanitizing, sorting, and organizing this mess.

Stay tuned....
