5.50 with huge profit

[bluehunter1973]

Last year I was at a garage sale. Didnt really have anything interesting except so old bubble gum looking machine and some cups. Bought the machine which turned out to be a Hamilton Beach malted milk shake dispenser for 5.00 dollars and sold it on Ebay for 565.00 dollars. I bought the metal cups because they had horse heads on the side
and my wife is a horse fanatic for a quarter a piece. They turned out to be 1941 Kentucky derby tumblers. one sold for 625.00 the other had a small dent went for 472.00. Not a bad little profit.

WOW!!! What a great yard sale. And to think you didn't even know what you were buying...great instincts. Good for you!!!

I know what im buying now. Somethings just suprise you how much they sell for
I actually paid my house payment during a 7 month layoff with yardsales and ebay. It was 900 hundred a month. But now things are getting harder to find and yard sales are getting expensive.
