Thanks for posting these kinds of updates. I have gotten more interested and started going to some estate/garage sales in the last year or so. I need to learn more to have a better eye for what is worth anything. It seems the estate sale companies around here are experts, and everything is expensive. Have picked up some books, puzzles, and some fishing gear for myself, but haven't felt that I could start flipping for profit yet.

Most of my great hits are found in the garage/shed, because the companies put the “junk” out there for the garage sale portion of the sale, and mark it cheap. They are also found in the toy room and “man cave”. These companies are mostly run by older ladies that worry about the artwork, jewelry, furniture, and high end “collectibles, causing them to just quickly price stuff they don’t know or worry about.

I once found the small rubber ball given out at Maravich’s last home game at LSU. It was signed by him and his father. I found it in a laundry basket full of toys. It was marked $1, in the handwriting of the ladies pricing the sale.
