When my husband got sick. He made it fun. We did all that, and also took day trips along the Lincoln Buyway (US 30) The first year, the Buyway intersected the Longest Yard Sale, the 127. We never got very far, so many sales, filled the car, had a blast.
When we bought stuff, usually from a round of sales, we'd sell something that covered what we spent. So the stuff I've sold was paid for back then. I usually price at 25 to 30% of sold prices I find online. I've kept most things that are old enough for my taste 
I used to have fun setting up at flea markets and other group sales. My brother-in-law came up with a filthy response to low ballers, but we didn't let him near the customers. We laughed, but they wouldn't have. Lol
I wish you and I knew each other. You could leave with a carload! We collected lighters and tobacciana the whole time were we married Lots of older match covers. One of my favorite things is a match box safe that commemorates a record trip for the Zephyr, from Chicago to Denver.
My daughter offered to set up at the local flea market with me, so we'll see.
