HAHA! That's right, until THAT person has a yardsale and then it becomes treasure again :O)

Smart people NEVER get rid of their treasures knowingly.

I went to one yardsale a few years ago and bought this painting from an old woman who didn't like it. Sure, it was ugly but she didn't know who had done it (and neither did I at the time). She was practically forcing me to buy it so I did - for about $1.50 or something.

Then I got it home and did some research and it turned out that the thing was worth a few thousand! I went back by her house the next day and gave it back to her. So, speaking of treasures, the look on her face was priceless.

Then I bought a bobbing hula girl, which I later sold LOL
