Sometimes. The worst are the folks that have the weekly sales for the entire summer. This summer has been fairly productive. We got a copy of Madonna's Sex Book for $5 and sold it for $152 on ebay. At the same tag sale I got an old police issue duffle bag for $2. It even has the holders for a billy club on the sides. My joke is that I plan on using it to smuggle dope through the airports becuase nobody is going to stop me. This summer we also got a painting from the 1940's by a Japanese artist for $10. As we were paying for it the lady working the church tag said "You know, that's a real work of art." So it was. I haven't gotten it appraised oficially, but based on my research I think it is worth between $500 and $1000. That's probably the biggest find I have ever had. I collect records and it has been a very good summer for those as well. Yes sir, nothing beats a good tag sale :)
