Nice score!
I'm still looking for the elusive brand name MD at a yard sale. All i've ever found was an old Heathkit from the early 70's (still have it) and a "toy" chinese brand (didn't buy it) once. Oh yeah... I almost forgot , I found a Garrett's ADS master Hunter III at the local Salvation Army several years ago, but I sold it for a considerable profit.

Same garage sale last weekend I ran in to 2 used Ace 250's, they wanted $250 for each one. I thought they were joking till I talked to them and they said that was what they really wanted, they would only deal if I bought both, for $400, I told them, "you know that is just the model number right?".... $250 for a used Ace 250.....$400 for 2 used......Told them sorry not interested and left....

Idiots. You should've told them you can get a brand new one delivered to your doorstep for less than that. Get off the dope people.

I bought a White's Eagle Spectrum, along with a 3" coil,a 4' sand screw,a Kellyco handheld probe, Compass Depth Doubler and a box of older W&E, LT mags, all for 25 bucks. I sold the Eagle for $100.00, the probe for $10.00 and still have the rest.

Helps to have an I phone at yard sales prevents buying things for tooooooo much you can show them what the going price is they probably got it from a late relative and have no idea what they had I would have asked them if they had any coins he had to have silver.

My "Iphone" has saved me from buying lots of useless (non-salable) crap! I am always looking items up on it. Lots of times if its a busy sale, I'll grab some items, look them up and put the worthless junk back...

Ditto on the looking stuff up. My Droid2 has been very helpful at weeding out the junk and helping me find good sellers

I bring my ipad to every thrift shop, yard sale or garage sale. Helps me identify hallmarks, as well as being able to google old books or anything else I may come across.
