Spend A Few Bucks At An Estate Sale & Turn It Into 1.6 Million Dollars?
That's what one lucky guy did. Now me, I've been to hundreds of estate sales over the years, always hoping to find the "Million Dollar Antique Roadshow Find." When I was living in Milwaukee and working evenings, I was such a fanatic; I would sleep in my car overnight so I could be the first person in line at the door to claim my share of the treasure. Thats not to say I didn't make money because I did. I remember purchasing an old crank up Columbia Victor Victrola Phonograph when I first moved here to Grand Rapids, Michigan. Someone listed it and spelled Columbia wrong. I purchased it for $35, spelled everything correctly, listed it again, and sold it a week later for $1300. Yeah, that was a sweet deal!!! But, I never found as sweet a deal as the retired factory worker who spent a few bucks on a vase he fancied, that happened to be a Ming vase worth 1.6 million dollars. I don't think it's very attractive but it sure is worth a lot money...
