    Some Puzzling Finds

    The weekend before last I found two puzzles, one for $5 at a garage sale, one for $2 at a thrift store. I put them both on Ebay last week, and look what happened!

    First puzzle:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MESO%3AIT&rd=1

    Second puzzle:

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MESO%3AIT&rd=1

    I've been selling on Ebay for more than 8 years, and I've occasionally sold puzzles on there the whole time. In all this time I've never sold a puzzle for more than about $40, so to find both of these in the same weekend was a puzzling coincidence, to say the least!

    A couple of years ago I bought an Outer Limits kids puzzle from the 1960's,at a garage sale for 25 cents.I got $125 for it on Ebay. I have been looking ever since but have not found another one.
