Garage Sale finds

[Srikanth Narayanan]

How can this be beat?

Find some old black and white film slides, haggle to the price down to $45 (too expensive says the family)... then have it appraised a decade later for $200 Million.

I hope the $45 Fresno garage seller is blissfully unawares of this.

Got an old Stanley "type 20" (1962-67) #5 plane at an estate sale, literally NIB... score... :D

Congrats on your purchase. (I'm not sure what that is...)

Here is another lucky one...

bike that originally costs $8000, bought for $5.

Who sells a bike for $5? C'mon, it obviously looked good, at least ask for $150.
