An auction just two doors down. How convenient! There were a lot of pretty quilts, most of them handquilted, but they sold for over $100 each. A few went for $180! So I just admired them. Lots of sewing stuff, fabric (had to like blue) and quilt blocks and little squares of fabric. It all went for more money than I was willing to spend.
I did spot this accordion file. The boxes of stuff on this rack were only bringing a dollar or two. I'd pay $5 or more at the store for this so I bid.
As often happens, if you don't pay attention you are suprised at what you have successfully bid on. The file was part of a box and they threw in two more boxes as we were bidding. Wound up bidding $3 'cause I thought they were asking for my number. I raised it up for them to see and apparently upped the bid. Still a bargain on the accordion file. But now what do I do with all this other stuff?! Anyone need a bunch of magnetic deflectors for their forced air heat vents? A binder or two or three? 
And I got this large suitcase for $1. Perfect for storing odd pieces of batting.
