I came across copy of Speer #9 reloading manual and a copy of Lyman 45th edition. I got both for $6 and change. They'll be a great addition to my reference library.

JUST GOTTA LOVE THIS JOINT.
I've always felt sad when that sort of thing ends up at Goodwill, more than likely when someone's estate was finished up.
And the heirs either didn't want it, or didn't even realize what they were putting in the 'donate' bin.
But at the same time,
I like seeing that sort of stuff get back out in circulation, and bought by someone who wants and appreciates them.

OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.
This ain't your Grandma's sewing circle.
EVERYONE!
Back to your oars. The Captain wants to waterski.
Yesterday at Restore, checking for pewter I found 8 glass bottomed mugs, a Jefferson cup and a goblet. They totaled just short of 7 lbs. Sometimes you find nothing, or an item overpriced-for alloying purposes, but occasionally there is a score to be had.
Micah 6:8
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

I may be discharged and retired but I'm sure I did not renounce the oath that I solemnly swore!
I'll be checking out other Goodwills from time to time. Hopefully I can find something else I can use
My best score so far was a glass bottom mug for Ten cents. Second best has been fifty cents each, third per piece was a 12 mugs lot for $8 . They are all engraved with events long past of people now divorced or dead. One had a nice pike ( fish ) for a handle. others are plain. all were cheap.

Millions and millions of American shooters and sportsmen got up, went to work, contributed to society in useful and meaningful ways all over the nation and shot no one today! How do they controll themselves?? Experts Baffled....

My local second-hand stores usually don't have much and I've never seen anything shooting related. I've got some second-hand sports equipment for my kids and the occasional clothing item, but not much else. My best find so far was not shooting related - a leg lamp, exactly like the one in the movie A Christmas Story. Our local Goodwill is a mess, pretty dirty and disorganized. A couple of the other stores are much better run.
Bought a nice Kimball baby grand at my local habitat store. Paid 700.00. Love it.
On the other side, I just dropped off a nice pair of boots to the Good Will today.
I found a small hand held steam cleaner bran spanking new in the bag with all attachments for a whopping $3!
Just the ticket for cleaning up the muzzleloader!

I ended up with a big heavy hard cover NRA history of the gun with tons of photos today. It was a $1.35 and like new. Missed a small arms book that someone grabbed at the same time. Got a national geographic hard cover birds of North American bird for 45 cents to. No pewter today. Also got a full strut turkey decoys for $3.95! Never see any load books. Bought a couple Die sets, lee molds, a d do it sinker molds for a few dollars each last year.
Wifey is a reseller so we hit the nearest Goodwill Outlet once a week looking for inventory to sell. I’d love to stumble across reloading manuals one day. I find pewter pretty regularly. For $2.10/lb I feel like I’m getting a fair price on the solid pieces that I’m confident are pewter. I picked up a cute little pewter salt shaker for $0.33 yesterday. Last week I found a brand new KaBar knife and sheath for around $1.
That was a good find. I believe that the Lyman 45th is the best manual Lyman ever made.

goodwill stores in my area are really overpriced + of limited interest - jmho the employees get the cream of the crop before it hits the shelves -
never pick a fight with an old man - if he is too old to fight he will just kill you -
in this current crisis our government is not the solution , it is the problem ! -

Just hit the DAV again this morning. No load books again. I did buy a Rival KC 5820 smoker for $3.75 though. Complete with directions. No more gun books either.
A year ago I found a repainted Vietnam era helmet with a WWII liner for $1.00. Nothing since.
Nice find! That Lyman 45th has been on my list for a while now.

GOA and FPC have done more in the last decade than your NRA has done in it's entire existence... Support the ones that actually do something for you.
A few years ago, I went to the Hensley & Gibbs estate sale in Murphy Oregon.
All the books in their library were $2 each.
I got a lot of valuable books as a friend and I were the first to go through them.
I bought a copy pf Elmer Keiths " Six Guns by Keith".
When I got it home I found out it was a signed copy from Elmer to H&G.
It says something like " From Elmer Keith to Hensley & Gibbs 197?, Salmon, Idaho.
