I frequent our local flea market on a regular basis. one of my best finds was a powerwinch anchor winch for $15.00. all it needed was a switch and it works perfectly.

best book find was a peter maxx airplane book in mint condition for a dime at the local library book sale. it is worth way over $100.00.

I also saved from the dump a beatles yellow submarine book without the front cover. I don't know if it is worth anything.

see if the redline has a 3 piece crank, it will be worth more, that's the crank with the bolt in the middle on each side. Also the Proline was the elite of the racing bikes Redline made.
Hope you can get good money out of it. I always enjoyed mine.

I do a lot of metal detecting, but also I search thrift shops and the local dump for books and other items I collect or put on eBay. One of my recent finds was a 1939 1st edition 12th printing in 1948 of Alcoholics Anonymous. It just sold for $280.00. Yesterday at the dump before the bulldozer got to it a Redline BMX RL-20 20 inch bike that was all original and in good shape. By researching on eBay and the internet it ?seems it can be worth over $200.00 or more. Gretchen.

Those are some pretty great finds Gretchen. Do you always find that type of stuff at the dump?
