It's one of the advantages of the area in which i live, there is still quite a lot of items like you're talking about available...and lots of old farmers retiring or passing away.
It's giving me a way to make a little coin with some of the items I found on my farm too. I've got a box of old traps that will end up hanging in dens, some old solvent cans...wood crates....barn and farm pulleys etc....
I'm admittedly a year or two late to this party, but I was pretty busy doing other things with that time.

Understandable. The MIL supplements their income much the same way, hitting estate auctions and garage sales and she barters with the local flea markets. She does pretty good with it too.
