[QUOTE="adamsredlines, post: 3639800, member: 40561"] Odds of finding a prototype at a garage sale are slim, but obviously not none. I know of two times it has happened, once in Wisconsin and once in Texas. Pretty odd considering the cars were prototypes from Mattel which was in California, but it happens! Just last week a friend of mine found 4 prototypes out of a group of cars on the Goodwill Auction site...so somebody had the protos and gave them to Goodwill. Goodwill didnt know they were prototypes, and honestly neither did my friend until he got them and was shocked. There were two other cars in the lot that were rare so he bought it for those cars and ended up with 4 prototypes to boot. It's crazy what's out there still! There's still a HUGE gap to fill between junk and prototype though, so odds of finding a car worth $1k at a garage sale are much higher but I've never been so fortunate. [/QUOTE]
