Great book to have when looking to go yard sale shopping
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is a wonderful book to have if you are a rookie like me and don't know junk from treasure. Doing alot of yard sales, I come across items that look like junk when in reality, they are a piece of old treasure. This book will help you know what to look for when going to yard sales, "junk" stores, etc. I bought this book looking to get educated on some past collectibles and really got ALOT more information out of it than I expected. This is the only book you will need when trying to sort through what's really worth $$ and what't worth only pennies. WELL worth the money to buy this book. :)
