<p>[QUOTE="Kevin Dore, post: 3153423, member: 96515"]I will keep looking at estate sales. My wife loves spending an entire day each Saturday that she can going to garage sales and estate sales and I often go with her when my work schedule allows. We don't go looking for coins but I'm always keeping an eye out. The problem I find with most estate sales in my area is that a lot of them are run by a company so you don't find many estate sales that are just run by the family. Usually it's several estates in one. The companies that run these have a good knowledge of value on everything they sell so most items are close to retail price. That being said, there are still great finds once in a while. Just a couple weeks ago I asked her to keep an eye out for a label maker I wanted for labeling my coin tubes. I thought maybe she'd find one worth about $20 old and beat up for $2. Instead she comes home one day with this extremely nice label maker barely used that she paid $7 for. I knew right away it was a gem so I went online and looked it up. This thing sells for $140 brand new![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
