Well it’s that time of year where everyone is cleaning out their garages.  Every street in our suburb area is lined with Garage Sale signs and on Saturdays like today there are blocks and blocks of people’s leftovers that will soon become something awesome for someone else.

I’ve never been a huge garage sale person.  I’ve been to a few but never made the rounds on an early Saturday morning.  Because of that, I’ve never actually found anything cool at a garage sale.  You know, those stories of picking up a painting at a house down the street for a dollar, only to find out that it’s some rare Rembrant sketch or something?  Or buying a wallet out of twenty-five cent box, to get home and find five hundred dollars hidden in a small flap.  I know this stuff happens at times, but it’s never happened to me.  

Are you a garage sale person?  What’s the coolest, best or most valuable thing you have ever found at a garage sale?
