I bought a hand-blown glass figurine at a garage sale for 50 cents.

I sold it for a dollar....doubled my money.

Got a complete set of Magnalite pots(8 pots with lids including the big roaster) for $10. Looked like they had never been used.

A couple years ago, I found a black and white checkered bag with the Mustang logo on it. I paid $1. I find a spare tire cover inside of it with same b/w checker pattern. Sold it for $250

I don't really want the new stuff they sell. No better than the store brands from Lowes and HD.

McIntosh MA230 amp

another pic with cover

Picked up this at a school garage sale a few years ago for $50.
Vintage 1963-66.
Damn thing almost gave me a hernia hauling it back to the car.

They are going for about $1,500.

Flipping shite can be fun, but it is also a real pain in the arse that requires extensive knowledge of a category.
