what would a vampire buy at a garage sale

So I'm thinking about halloween for next year. And my theme is going to be a monster garage sale. So I think the first project I'm going to work on is the vampire table, so the question is what would a vampire buy at a garage sale. So far I have bottles of true blood(if anyone knows a good way to make the bottles let me know) and a toe pincher coffin. Anyone else have any ideas?????

How about a red-lined cape, tooth sharpener, maybe some witches' potions to ward off silver bullets and wooden stakes, anti-garlic pills, iron deficiency pills. Gift certificates or books on coffin repairs, fixing your hearse, conquering your fear of flying. Books about Dracula, touring Transylvania, where to go for great night life, a vampire's guide to cocktails (like bloody mary). Maybe you want to have several variations of bottled blood--Type A, Type B, etc., you know for those with the discriminating taste!

Old bottles can be gotten real cheap. So make some up with lables. Make blood from corn surup and food coloring. You and have sun glasses at the table also because everyone knows vampires wear sunglasses to word off any unwanted sun light at dusk. You can have some tools for repairing coffins and mey books. Also rings and such jewellry.

Dirt from Transylvania? Or should I say "soil"

What about a jar of flys. We all know that Dracula's servent Renfield loved to eat flys.

I like the idea, and those are some hilarious suggestions! Not as good as the previous ideas, but what about SPF 200 sunscreen tubes in bulk (I'm imagining a large box printed with "Costco" and "150 4.0 oz. tubes" and "Ultra-Sunscreen SPF 200"). I'm not sure how well that would fit. I'm hoping cosmetics and stuff like sunscreen aren't sold at yard/garage sales in real life; the connotation of "used" items typical of such events makes that a little icky.

Put yourself into the vampire's way of thinking.
He would have a number of corpses laying around to sell. Could have an excessive amount of rats & bats to sell as well. Used coffins "scratch & dent" sale. Renfield could have a table of his own selling bugs, spiders, & flys. With free samples of each. lol Don't forget a library section of ancient books.
