Here’s this week’s Secondhand Sunday deal!
Beth was on her way to Safeway and decided to stop at a garage sale. She’s glad she did! She found this KitchenAid Professional Mixer in perfect shape for only $10. This same mixer is going for $350 right now on Amazon! She also bought a set of washer/dryer stands for $20 at the same garage sale and she’s kicking herself that she didn’t buy a big air compressor that was at the garage sale for $25 (going for $499 on Amazon).
Beth just moved to Washington from Alaska and this is her first taste of Washington garage sales – she likes what she sees and I’m hoping she continues to have such great luck!
Secondhand Sunday is a series I’m doing through the summer to feature deals that readers are finding secondhand – either at a thrift shop, garage sale or on Craigslist. It’s to encourage us all to consider secondhand purchases when we try to save money. Beth will get a $10 Amazon gift card for sending in her secondhand treasure!
Since we started this series, here are some of the secondhand treasures we’ve featured:
- Seneca saves 99% off a Harveys Seatbelt Designer Purse
- Kristyle saved more than $160 off a Bissell Spotbot
- Kendra’s Gucci purse for just $30
- Aimee saved 90% on a brand new pilates machine
- Kara saves 88% off this Step 2 Lifestyle Kitchen
- Katy finds Little Tikes Playhouse for $30, reg. $200
- Jean paid $7 for an antique clock appraised at $300
- Jennifer paid $100 for a $1500 Jura-Capresso Espresso Machine
Have you found any great secondhand deals lately?
Send in your secondhand treasures and if I feature your score here on the blog, you’ll get a $10 Amazon gift card!
- I’ll be featuring one secondhand score each Sunday
- If I feature your thrift-store or garage sale treasure here on the blog you’ll get a $10 Amazon gift card!
- Please email me a photo at thehive@queenbeetoday.com – include in the email a short description of what you found secondhand, what you paid for it and what you think it retails for. Use subject line Secondhand Treasure when you send the email.
- Try to take a photo that is not blurry and is in good light (try natural light, no flash, if possible). The better your photo the more likely it will be to make it on the site. People want to see what you got!
- If you bought something secondhand and restored it or improved it somehow – I’d love before and after photos!

I garage sale all the time with my mom and we have came across some great deals. We have found vintage lladros for 30 bucks for 5 of them, a Waterford red candy bowl for $10. my mom used to collect them when my parents got married so she added to the collection. So glad I found this site and the stories of what people find. I have always tried to find a kitchen aid mixer at estate sales/garage sales no luck in California people must take them with them when they move. This find would have been what I would have gone after to. Great deal congrats

Awesome deal…way to go. We went garage sale’ing this weekend too. I got a ton of amazing stuff for very very cheap. I bought a brand new food dehydrator for $10 that retails for about $40-$45. I’m very excited to use it for all the yummy fruit that’s coming from Spooner Farms and Eastern WA soon 🙂

So since you mentioned her score will she get the Amazon gift card? Making her mixer free? ;-D
