If I find something at a sale that I know I will make money on, I will risk some money on something I find interesting.
This sale I bought this bottle for $90, but I also bought three other items for $25 total, which should net me $50 or $60 (if not more), and I should atleast break even.
It's definitely worth the risk. The level of knowledge that you pick up just from getting involved is worth it. By purchasing that clock, you probably know enough about clocks now to know what to look for next time you run across one.
