Caught a garage sale this morning and saw a pile of bike parts in the garage. The husband was at work and the nice wife let me pick through all 10 of his tubs. I bought about half the stuff for $450. The most expensive thing was the felt frame and fork for $50 (she said her husband wanted $150 for it). Basically everything was either $1, $2 , or $3. A few $5 items. There was just so much it added up kind of fast. I got 29 bike seats at $3 each (including the moon eyes seats).

I was there about 8 am this morning and I walked away from the ape hangers and felt frame/fork. It was bugging me so I went back at 5pm with the kids in tow and negotiated for the rest. She had broken the news to her husband and she said he was pretty upset, however they had discussed it in the last year to get rid of everything. So at the end of the day they had almost $500 in there pocket and a bunch of room in the garage. She said it her self, we all got to make a little money on this deal :)
 
Those mooneyes are worth some coin.
Great score!
 
gigmata was looking for one
 
Hey Corykip, the brethren of Ratrodbikes.com told me you have a Mooneyes seat. I see you have two. I would like to buy one. I have finally decided to build something cool and I require a Mooneyes seat. Please PM me with a price. Thank you.
