A Shapleigh Hardware Switchblade Knife. Found it in the bottom of a box of screwdrivers I bought. The knife sold for $900 at an Auction.
One of my brothers, and his wife, conducted estate sales as a retirement income. These sales usually require hauling off a bunch of trash that is not worth anything. There was a pile of trash in the garage, and as they were loading it to take to the dump, there was an old dirty Navajo looking rig. My sister in-law cleaned it up a little, placed it on E-bay, and discribed it as a Navajo looking rig. I can't remember the details but, the bidding went nuts, and it brought $3,000.00/$4,000.00, and sold. some time later she saw this same rug on Antiques Road Show, and they estimated it's value at $40,000.00+! I guess stories like this is what keeps people treasure hunting?

I bought a Fred Bear bow for $35, I really had no idea of it's worth. I sold it on eBay for $450. That's my best.
That's a great find.
Once bought an ouboard motor for $50 in the late 80's. Drove to lake and set up on a saw horse in 2 ft of water. Cleaned and adjusted carbs. 4hrs total invesment from purchase to sale for $700. Had $2 in new fuel and $1.50 in gas line. Thats $161.62 an hour. I don't think I've beat that .
The best slip locks made in my opinion! Great find! $20??
Uhhhh. Nope.
They went in the gunsmith tool box so I wouldn't have to keep running my other set down.Similar threads
