We got the duckpin bowling balls for free because a random neighbor of the yardsale saw us buying the bowling balls and thought we might want the duckpin balls also. The big metal top is pretty cool because it plays music when you spin it. One of the silver orb lights ended up breaking, though. They are too fragile for our house.

BACKSTORY: Got up around 7:40AM, made it out driving by 8:20AM and went out until 1:40PM (3h9m spent driving). Spent $84.47 plus ~$9.77 gas for 53 miles of driving (15.9 mpg @ $2.93/G), for a total cost of $94.24. We drove to 25 yard sales, stopping at 19 (76%) of them. We made 41 purchases (49 items) for a total estimated value of $742.30, leading to a profit of $648.06, or a wage of $121.52/hr (as a couple) or $60.76/hr (each).
