California Garage Sale: State Holds Giant Garage Sale

[AsahinaKimi]

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Bargain-hunters snatched up watches confiscated from criminals, surplus prison shirts and antique pianos salvaged from parks on the first day of a statewide garage sale to scrape together cash for California.

The two-day sale kicked off Friday at a Sacramento warehouse, with hundreds lining up for deals on cars, computers and collectibles. Many arrived hours before the gate opened at 8 a.m., walking past a "Terminator" mannequin on the way in.

An auctioneer sold vehicles by the minute under a crowded tent in the parking lot behind the warehouse. SUVs, vans and California Highway Patrol cruisers – all were being moved off the state's inventory for just a few thousand dollars

1. I think the bloom may be off the rose

California dreamin' ain't what it used to be.





Is it possible that the California economy on loose credit steroids was a mirage? Does anyone see a housing bubble here?




I think I've found the girly man.
