<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ghopper1924, post: 262259, member: 5170&quot;]I rarely do garage sales and never thrifts. Two good things that came out of garage saling were a Lladro cupid for $7.00 (Fleabay: $150) and some signed John Grisham first editions from someone who used to be a neighbor of his. Otherwise, garage sales around here are virtually 100% certain to be junk.</p><p><br /></p><p>The all-time best was the estate of a dentist who was moving across country. For some reason he hooked up with an amateur-ish garage sale outfit instead of a high-end estate business to help him sell his stuff, and he really should have done the latter. We found a Mark Hopkins signed and numbered bronze for 80% off new, three linsey-woolsey blankets from before the Civil War for $50 total, art glass, English teapots from the 1840s for $20.00, etc. The dentist later called us after he had moved and tried to buy the Hopkins back.
