I found a Ruger MII w/out a mag for $40, and a 1955 bubbleback 18K gold Rolex for $100 a while back. Nice find on those mags, you never know what you can find.

Today, I got a softcover copy of "The Art of War" for .25 and at another one I left with a dremel tool ($1) and a high-speed electric buffer($4). 2 weeks ago it was a cheap bass guitar for $10. I set it up with new strings ($20) and flipped it on CL for $75.

I've never found anything very valuable either at a garage sale. We use to go to flea markets also.

I have an inverse relationship with garage sale prices. The closer I get, the higher they get.

About one garage sale out of ten is worth going to, and about one out of the ten good ones is amazing, or that seems to be my luck. I hit "number 100" recently with an old 16 ga double in real good condition for a hundred bucks. It's not a Win 23, or a Parker or a boss, just an old mail order gun with rabbit ear hammers, but still a pretty good deal. CB

My wife & I recon the thrift stores as well. That usually works better for her, but sometimes I find something for me. Epiphone 10W bass amp $13.50, Old wooden shoeshine box kit w/brushes and various cans of Kiwi $5. I use the brown Kiwi on some of my electric guitar necks for a vintage look. Tesico 70s vintage Jap electric guitar $25.
