Yeah I wish I could be lucky enough to find something like that cheap at a yard sale.

I was kind of expecting something along the lines of the grilled cheese sandwich signed by toaster-jesus that went for 25k or whatever.
Anyhow, it reminds me of an old newspaper article from some 20+ years ago about a guy who bought a "blue glass paperweight" at a garage sale for ten bucks and later found it to be a high end sapphire valued at 8 figures. Probably alot of random valuable shit collecting dust in peoples attics etc.

Yea I remember when I was a kid my mom bought this piece of pottery at a yardsale for 25cents and sold it for like $70 a week later... Not as extreme as millions of dollars, but if you know what your looking at you can get some crazy deals...
There used to be a TV program which people used to take random stuff of their houses and experts valued them. A guy had a Ming's Dinasty jar (of course he thought it was a random jar) in the frontdoor of his house for years HAHA, then he occurred that it might be something expensive and took it to that program.
I was hoping to see comments from the guy who put those negatives on a garagesale.
