<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 1249844, member: 31533&quot;]I don&#039;t have any amazing coin stories with valuable coins, but I have gone to estate sales and I make a point of flipping through books pages to see if any money or other valuable thing is there, and the same with clothing pockets, especially men&#039;s suits. When I was a kid I borrowed a copy of Born Free from the library and when I opened it at home, there was a 10 dollar bill there. Amazing! (I kept it, 1968 or so). At an estate sale, I bought a nice upscale ski suit (which I later sold for a nice profit) for 3.00 simply because I found coins in the pocket and I didn&#039;t want to just take the coins, as that would be &quot;stealing&quot; IMO. The coins were quarters, and came to 3.25 I think. Also at an estate sale I bought an old photo album (for very old pics) and saw that among the photos was a very unusual comedic type photo in near perfect condition. As a result I sold that photo for 126 dollars, the album gave me a profit of about 20 dollars over what I paid and the rest of the photos gave me a 10 dollar profit. So I made just over 150.00 from noticing that the photo album had a worthwhile photo in it.</p><p><br /></p><p>One estate sale at the very end had a box of nice coins in it and the box was 2.00 - I took it to the lady and asked if the box of stuff was all for 2.00 for the box. She saw the coins and said no, it wasn&#039;t for sale. But I found a book in BRAND NEW condition (collectible) that I bought for 2.00 there, and I sold the book for 34 dollars. </p><p><br /></p><p>Sometimes you get lucky and sometimes not. But I really liked what you said about learning to walk away from a deal. That is sometimes hard to do, especially if you think you know it all. But I don&#039;t know what I would do if I found something VERY valuable accidentally in something I bought at a garage or estate sale (meaning it was &quot;hidden&quot; in another item).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
