[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 196273, member: 301"]buried in a couple of threads here , there's talk of how and what folks have found in old books they've bought .....mostly cash. I bought a box lot for $10 at the end of an auction....in it was an old Arabic prayer tablet valued at $600. I listed it on eBay at $1200 , UNTIL, I was told by an expert of it's true value. In the end I gave it to my then best buddy for his birthday, at his birthday party, , who turned around and shamed me in front of all his other friends , for giving him some box lot trash I couldn't sell on eBay !! That really crushed me .....in front all his other friends who looked at me and laughed....as if I was some cheap low class bastard who couldn't afford a nice gift. ( when I originally bought it...he was there..& told me how much he liked it !! ) We're no longer friends.....[/QUOTE]
