    Great Display Case find at garage sale $30

    I cannot believe the people only wanted $30 for this thing. It has three glass shelves plus the bottom wood shelf.

    Here it when I brought it home:





    I have finished redoing the outside, now just need to do the inside:

    That's a great deal. Nice find for sure. I need to scoure the G-sales this spring. Glass cabinets normally run a fortune.

    I had a temp job in college one night, tearing down a Sunglass Hut in the mall, and putting up a new one. We put all the old display cabinets in this big walkin dumpster. The manager guy tried to sell em to us, but me and my friend said no, then we came back later and spent the whole night loading them into my garage. We sold them to a flea market place on consignment, and made like a grand a piece. I wish I had kept a couple. Oh well, who knew??

                I say more like 1 in 50. Estate sales is where the good stuff is at!!!

                This did come from a garage sale tho.
