Rummage sale, garage sale, yard sale, or whatever you wish to call them can provide great finds, I have picked up several guns at this type of sale. I do jewelry work, and often go to look at jewelry. Recently I bought a sandwich bag full of necklaces (chains) for two dollars. It had one chain that I immediately recognized as gold, and several silver colored chains in the bag. The gold chain was an 18K chain, 20 inches long and weighed 8.5 grams. Upon closer examination, several of the silver chains were .925 sterling, but the prize was a platinum chain, 24 inches long, and weighing 11.7 grams, it was appraised at $500. Not bad for a $2.00 investment.
I also purchased a Russian SKS in excellent condition for $125. That was for the gun, all the accessories, and six boxes (20 round boxes) of ammo.
Gentlemen, the next time your wife ask you to tag along while she goes, take advantage of the offer. You never know what you may find.
