Wow, that's so wierd. A few years ago I sold an old chair I had in my apartment to a lady at a garage sale and....

Hey!

Mijada · 05-30-2005, 12:04 PM

Wow, that's something. I wish I could be that lucky at garage sales. Some of those bills are probably worth a lot more that their face value.

Just shows that it pays to check for loose change between those couch cushions!!

That's cool! My Mom said she took me to garage sales when I was little and I'd pick out all the gaudy stuff, but one time I went through a box and found a ring that she thought was the ugliest thing ever, but since it was priced at $0.25 she bought it for me. Later on one of her friends saw that I was playing with it, and borrowed it to take it to a jeweler- turns out the ring appraised for $500... I still have it, and I still don't think it's gaudy. LOL

Wasn't that the same sale you found your driver's license at??
