What is the best Yard Sale finds that youve had? Mine happens to be finding some Rare Records for a dirt cheap price. Also I scored lots of rare comics for 10 cents a piece and there easily worth quite a bit.

4 Walton megos complete and in good shape for 4 bucks. So not really much to brag about, but I was still happy."Steel-like jaws clacked away, each bite slashing flesh from my body - I used my knife and my hands, and when they were gone, my bloody stumps - and yet the turtles came."Comment

I've had many, many great finds at yard sales.
3 years ago I hit a sale and found these for 25 cents a piece:
At the same sale I grabbed a 50's Steiff Teddy Bear and a Van Briggle vase amongst many other things--everything was 25 cents to 50 cents.
I hit a sale not long after and found this stuff for a combined total of around $5:
Those inflatable monsters are a big deal in monster collecting circles. Sold the pair for $1400.
Last summer one huge garage sale netted me this stuff--everything at super cheap prices:
I found this record a couple of weeks ago for $1 and sold it for $1000:
For the most part I generally find something worthwhile every weekend I go out.....usually takes a combination of skill, timing, persistence and luck!Comment

I never find anything at Garage Sales...now thrift stores back in the day was a different story. I found a Miles Davis "Kind Of Blue" LP at a Salvation Army store that was still sealed inside the LP sleeve for $1. Sold it on Ebay for $100. But my 2 best finds I ever had was a Eerie Spectre series Pez dispenser in a bag of about 10 dispensers. Basically cost me 20 cents each. Sold the Sylvester from the same bag for $15...but the Eerie Spectre Pez I sold for $150. The other great find I had at thrift store was a Beatles 45. One of the rarest 45's they put out. A Vee Jay 522 "From Me To You" / "Thank You Girl" which is probably second to a Beatles Vee Jay 498 45 in rarity...Paid 25 cents for it. Haven't sold it because it's in my collection still...although I have thought about it from time to time."When not too many people can see we're all the same
And because of all their tears,
Their eyes can't hope to see
The beauty that surrounds them
Isn't it a pity".

I have to live through the finds that Matt and Greg come up with
The best I think I've done is a couple of years ago I picked up a Terri Lee doll in the dressing suitcase with about 4 outfits. Paid around $20 for it and ended up getting $525 for it.Comment
