<p>[QUOTE="bahabully, post: 1427809, member: 17555"]Yeah.. and I never go to yard sales ! Was more of an estate sale than yard sale I guess.. the kind where you were allowed to essentially go into the house and pick paintings off the wall, etc... everything was for sale. Free beverages in the garage, so I went out there (free stuff<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Snooped around the workbench a bit, and inside a tin that I assumed held nails, nuts, bolts, etc.... viola, Beginners luck I guess. There they were.. Top one goes in the junk silver bucket. Bottom one is nice enough for a flip imo. Toning on that one obviously appears more NT than the top one (not that I can tell the difference) and is in ~MS. Both were in the tin can with some trash wheats, and a few nuts and bolts (literally). Top one was wrapped in yellow paper that had noticable hint and smell of oily residue on it (probably from sharing a tin can on the work bench with nuts and bolts).. the bottom one was in a flip, which also appeared to have absorbed a bit of oily reside from the same environment. I was surprised to see them in such good shape given where they were stored, or rather thrown and forgotten. folks who were running the sale obviously overlooked also... I should have just taken the tin can over and asked how much, probably could have gotten it and the contents for $1, but instead I took these out and brought them over to the table with the gals taking the $ and asked them how much.. They had no idea and offered $20 each... SOLD ; )[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
