Huge Auction Haul

The Ace Hardware store in nearby North Vernon, Indiana had a bankruptcy auction this past Friday and it was a Christmas decorations bonanza. Being the only decorating fanatic there in June, I was pretty much unopposed on the bidding.

Most of the items still had the price tags attached. I spent right around $120 and when I added up just the items with the tags attached, I had $3470 in merchandise. Not sure what I will do with all of this stuff, but what a haul!



A couple shots of the complete haul.


Tons of garland to be used on the rebuilt z-tree this season!


This huge wreath was one thing I really had my eye on. It breaks down into four pieces and is over six feet across. It had $289 on the price tag... I paid $15 :)


Paid $4 for this tree

I didn't bother fluffing any of the trees and such out for the inventory pics, but you get the idea..


Got three of these palm trees for $5, they were labeled $112.99 each!

Three of these


Lots of lights, quite a few are LED!



Set on wrapping paper for the next 100 years


Handy light reels


lots of miscellaneous stockings and santa hats


39 of these bows labeled $1.99 each.. .gave two dollars!


Cinammon scented pine cones.. who knows, they were mixed in on a whole section of shelf that I bought


More Garland, some 25' lengths and some 9' in boxes...
