<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 262039, member: 55&quot;]I&#039;ve found some cool stuff at thrift stores and yard/estate sales.&nbsp; Latest was a nice piece of art glass by a pretty well-known artist (not Chihuly, though - but one of his friends).</p><p>Here&#039;s a story about one that got away: </p><p>the wife and I were going into a Goodwill, and we saw a musician we knew, coming out with a guitar in hand.&nbsp; He was bringing it out into the sunlight to check it out, because it was in kind of rough shape, though still playable.&nbsp;&nbsp; We hovered, in case he decided not to get it, but no luck, he walked away with it.</p><p>It was a Martin guitar, priced at $150.&nbsp; List price brand-new would be $3,000; depending on the year, this vintage Martin was probably worth at least $1,500, maybe much more.</p><p>(I don&#039;t feel as bad as I might; I&#039;ve got one just like it, in much better shape; bought mine in a pawn shop, in 1965 for $100, when list price was $300.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
