We have an annual auction held by the Howard County Antique Farm Machinery Club. I know its a bit far for you but I would think there are similar events in your neck of the woods. Along with machinery, they will sell pretty much anything and it is amazing how each year so much stuff can be pulled from the barns and garages of the region. The rows of stuff fill at least two football fields. And incidentally, groups of Amish from southern MD always participate. You don't get much for your stuff but you don't pay much for the new stuff you just can't resist. I consider it a fun day.
