Garage Sale Score!

The wife and I went out garage salin' this morning for the first time in a few months. I'm never looking for anything particular, just stuff to keep me occupied.

About the 5th or 6th garage sale turns out to be an old neighbor of ours that had moved a couple of years ago. We're chatting and about to leave when she asked me if I saw the fishing stuff her husband was selling. I went to check it out and it was nothing I really needed, but on the table next to the fishing stuff was a box full of various boxes of shells.

8 boxes of 12 2 3/4 7 1/2 shot
1 box of 3" .410 6 shot
1 box of .25 auto
1 box about half full of .38

I totaled up the individual prices and it came to 31 bucks. I asked if she'd take 30 for all of it because I didn't have a dollar bill.

She said, "You just give me 20 dollars and you can have it all."

Okey dokey, you're sure?


So now I have plenty of 12ga for the rest of dove season(like I didn't already) and some extra .410 and .38, and I have some .25 auto shells.

I don't own a .25, but now I've got an excuse to get one.

My apologies about the random string of numbers. I did, however; figure that most folks on here would read it the way it appeared in my head. Because great minds think alike, or so I've been told...

230, it's actually kind of interesting. I've known her and her husband for several years, and she was good friends with my mom before she passed.

Anyways, on the guns that go with them, no clue. I'm not sure why they had these, unless it shells her relatives left here when they moved back to Mexico.

Her husband isn't much of a hunter, he's more of a fisherman and I'd lay down cash that the last time he shot a gun was when I took him out to our place to fish and we shot a few dozen rounds out of the .22's. That was probably 4 years ago.

The .38's, evidently, are quite old. I found a price sticker on them for 6 bucks and change.

The .25 auto, aren't quite as old, the price on them is 8 and change.
