My first week out and I hit a jackpot. For a total of $38 I purchased at one estate sale:

2 - Spalding hickory shaft putters (paid $1 each, value about $50 each)

3 - high end tennis rackets, Head, Prince, & Wison (paid $10 for the three, sold for $70). Funny thing is, when I got them home, I found $10 in the side pocket of the racket case!!!

1969 & 70 LSU yearbooks - Maravich's junior and senior years (paid $8 each, valued about $60 each)

61 - "Science Fiction Analogy" pulp magazines from the 60's & 70's (paid $5, valued about $1 each)

And the jackpot winner:
For $5, I bought a box of 2 vintage Barbies with a bunch of clothes and accessories. I've already sold one outfit for nearly $600 (I'm expecting well over $1000 on this box alone). One Barbie is a #3 Barbie, value about $200 in this condition (bad), $2000 in perfect condition
