A garage.
At an outdoor rubbage sale for a small public library in a small town in Ohio- got all the books I could put in a grocery bag got $5. I was 15 and was smart enough to fill it with all these old books from the 1800’s. Stilll have them all and one is a rare book worth over $100 (signed by author).
A cast iron frying pan for 25 cents. I use it every day. It's better than some of the high end kitchen ware I've purchased over the years.
an authentic Chanel bag for $10. Sold it for a couple hundred. :D
A beautiful copper alembic for $10 (for making essential oils) and an entire box of vintage Pyrex for $20, most pieces are very valuable.
Oh, and a new La Crueset dutch oven for $15...i use it to make gumbo!
Break Up by TomyTronic for $1. It was this gigantic (compared to a Game Boy) electronic handheld game that used LEDs. It was quite fun, even though I had just gotten by my Game Boy. This was circa 1990. I still have it somewhere, and I'm sure it still works.
@hhstarr That's amazing!
An old, old vacuum cleaner when I lived in Hollywood.
It lasted for years and years.
Paid $10 for it.
A Flow Bee hair cutter for five bucks! And it works.
A Louis Vuitton briefcase with a combination lock, to which the person had forgotten the combination.
Bought it for 5.00 and on a whim tried the numbers 777 since I had just gotten back from Vegas--and it opened right up!
A dildo. Gently used.
@notthisagain
Thanks! Can't wait to read, and I can't wait till the assholes go down.
Like new Doc Martens for $5.
Cameron Crowe's Fast Times At Ridgemont High, (the novel, out of print) which I later sold on eBay for like 80 bucks.
Just last weekend. A smallish 60’s plastic ,6 drawer organizer with pre- Colombian artifacts( figurines,beads and painted pot shards) a piece of Hadrian’s wall various arrowheads and a piece of Stonehenge ,all labeled for 2$
Nah I'll go with vintage toys, used to love that stuff as a kid.
it was a thrift store, but the buy was so good: a ralph lauren velvet little black dress for $5.00 with 15% off and it was tax-free school shopping days so i got it for $4.25. i can't ever top that and only dementia will make me forget every detail.
An antique Bible and an antique Bible concordance, two separate occasions.
I paid $5 for a small Fendi bag in one of the better neighborhoods here several years ago.
An antique oval hallway mirror with old-style beveled glass, and silvered in 1910 for $5
Well, my neighbors actually sold a shed once.
An ergonomic keyboard about 15 years ago for 5 bucks. It's traveled to 3 jobs with me and still going strong, I just need to use an adapter for it so it will work with USB connections
The 1884 two-volume "Encyclopedia of Freemasonry and Its Kindred Sciences," by Albert G. Mackey, 33rd Degree.
Loaded with fascinating material. Got the pair for $10. I later learned that the man who was selling it could've been killed for doing so.
A 1939 radio console (like in A Christmas Story) with hook up for both Victrola and a new-fangled thing called television. Still works! Cost: $5 Worth: $300-350.
'Zebra II' a vasarelli print in a rich suburb of boston for 5 bucks...she said she paid alot for it a long time ago but no longer liked the color of the matting...i gave her the $5 and told i didnt like the matte color either but would change it...she looked at me like i was a genius...lol!

An antique piano stool with dolphin head feet for $80. It's my little side table where I sit on the couch.
@Ddonna.... What's the big secret? My brother-in-law's father was in the FM, and my sister claims to know "something" but she won't tell me, she says if it got out, her husband could have his tongue cut out!!
I've scored a LOT of great loot over the years, mainly 1st editions and comics for pennies on the dollar. Vintage video games too.
Prior to gun control nuts and safety nannies taking over (1981) I bought a slightly used Ruger 22 cal rifle, with scope. I had just turned 12, bought it for $75 without my parents permission or knowledge. Those were the days.
I also bought five Lamiglas rods, and three G Loomis rods for $60 while at an estate sale.
A very old seth miller clock for 20$
1959 Hammond M-3. $20 because they had to help me load it in my truck. Otherwise it would have been free.
10 years ago I bought 3 sets of original Star Wars-A New Hope figurines in character shaped boxes from the 70’s. Complete with little weapons. From an elderly couple who were selling their adult children’s toys from their youth. $20 for the lot. Each set is worth over $500 now and I still owe them.
