Been so busy haven't had much time to share my finds.
I'll try to post some of them when things slow down a bit.

But here is an interesting find from yesterday

Now I wonder what I should do with it?:icon_scratch:

BTW I paid $20 for it

I thought I did well when I found a whole sheet of US 14 cent stamps at a yard sale for two bucks. The lady said the stamps were old issue and most likely couldn't be used being 14 cent stamps. I didn't tell her you can still use them as 14 cent stamps,Duh.....Who in the HE double hockey sticks sold you that for 20 bucks?

The same guy that sold me a working Ipad for $20. It was a good yardsale!
I'll post some pics later

It's stuck in solid acrylic. Not sure if I should try to get it out

I am wondering if the first and last bills are real and the rest are fake

Thanks Digg!!!!

I am amazed that the it was still there a 10:45am right next to the Ipad (1st gen but still).
I thought I was dreaming . I literally pinched my self because I had problems sleeping the night before and was barely awake.

Thats an awesome Garage sale!!! I have an older GoPro Hero HD they are pretty neat cameras!!! I have been to two or three garage sales like that where I guess the people are getting evicted or having to jump state or something and are selling everything they have. The last one I was at about 3 years ago like that I spent 12$ and got 250$ worth of Scrap gold silver jewelry 5 bicycles and a load of other things. I Got there about noon and had to pick through the left overs!!! No telling what they sold before hand!!!

I see its in a lucite block. It looked like a sealed plastic bag at first. Well try a hammer and chisel.

Um...... No. There are not real dollars through the whole stack. Just the visible ones. Don't break it open, too nice a piece to ruin.

I was gonna say... Look at the completed auctions for these. Not one sold for over $500. That should be a BIG clue.
