Anyone ever bought anything that turned out to be worth something?

Finding bargains was a real thing before the Internet. Now anyone can look something up and figure it's approximate worth.

Not really. Those estate sale people google everything and mark it up at least 15%-25%. Then when everything is cheaper on Sunday, they are still making money.

I went to an estate sale one time, they even had the crap in the pantry marked. I 2/3 used bottle of Log Cabin syrup for literally 2/3 the cost you would pay at the grocery store. They had actually taken the time to figure that out!!

What a racket

My grandmother picked up one of these ugly jugsat a garage sell in BR for $1.50... Went to Antiques Roadshow in Mephis to find out it's worth around $6500.
