Anyone ever find nice stuff at garage sales..??

Bought a box of books one time for $8 because it had several old history textbooks. It set in trunk of my newer car for a week. Brought it in and at the bottom was very old book. It was a dusty, but clean, 1st edition Mormon Text. Called my Vinyl guy because he was into books and he connected me to his book guy. I sent him a couple dozen pictures and he said he’d call me back. He didn’t - someone else did and 45 minutes later I Fedex’d the book to an office at BYU. The next day I paid off the car the book sat in for a week.

Back around 1992-ish maybe (I'm getting old) I was at a yard sale, guy had a TON of 80's Saturday Morning cartoon action figures, with the big playset pieces that went along with them.

Another guy comes back after having been there earlier and trades the guy like 3-5 boxes of nothing but absolute wax garbage from that era (the big 5000 count boxes mind you and mostly 1990 Donruss) for what was probably worth around $1000 - $3000 worth of toys (today's prices).

At the time I guess that would have been a bad deal (for Donruss guy), I dunno?????

The guy trading the action figures was giddy though, couldn't wait to get his hands on all those Tom Glavine/John Smoltz error cards worth big $$$$$$
