DON'T SKIP THOSE CHURCH SALES!!!

I found this old camera at a church sale for $5 and later sold it on Ebay FOR $394. You never know what awaits at garage or church sales.

You aren't kidding. People for better or worse always take valuables to church sales. Hey, if they want to sell I'll buy. And I'll give them a free blessing and Godspeed.

I got all excited. I thought someone found the Lord! I don't think I've ever seen a church sale around here. Must be an east cost thing. Monty

I go to them when I can, seems the church ladies just don't like to budge on a price. "Well thats what it is marked, I can't change it"

Now high school sales are different, especially sports related. Guys usually run them and they just want to sell things. Got a Lego bin & Nike shoe box crammed with Lego for $2 this last Saturday. Pop Warner fund raiser ant local H.S.

This is a Graphex camera. It was the Mercedes of cameras back in the 1940's.
The price was several hundred dollars new. I got one at a garage sale a few months ago for $5 and it is in perfect condition. Looks like a studio camera, not all banged up like a newsreporter's camera.

Great find on the Graflex. Mine is a Korona Compact. Compact has changed some in the last 100 years!

Good shot of that camera. Too bad it need the lens board. I bet you could take the lens off my graflex, modify the board and it would work on your camera if the bellows was not extended too far.
