Hidden Treasures (photo story)

Many people view garage sales as a place to sell their old unwanted junk, but to some these rummage sales are an adventure to discover hidden treasures.

Here is a table at a garage sale located off Thomas Rd. There are items on this table ranging from several working computer monitors to baby toys.

Chris Anspaugh looks at an antique lace table cloth priced at $10.



Amberly Lacy, my fiancee, looks through a wal-mart bag full of working white strand lights (5 200 count lighting strands) for $1

Here is a table covered in children's toys. Many mothers and children cleared this table in a mater of minutes since everything on it was $.50

Barbara McCoughlen looks through a box of antique pewter picture frames among the remnants from an antique collectors belongings.

Georgia Smith is piling up the clothes at a fundraising garage sale for the youth group at First Baptist.

Micheal Johnson contemplates buying an old painting by Manet Edouard. The painting was priced at $100 but is appraised at a little over $1000. Michael is an art collector who seeks out paintings that are sold by unknowledgable owners.

Here are the remnants of a collection of Folgers coffee tins. The entire collection was being sold for $2 but consisted of 125 tins.


Gary Olsen goes garage saleing and buys every shoe he can find because he donates them to the Soles4Souls Inc charity. The shoes he buys are spread to children and families across the world who suffer extreme poverty. He averages buying between 20 - 200 shoes a weekend. When asked if the money spent (roughly $200 a weekend) was worth it and he responded with "they are priceless for the children in need."
