JCC Ever unexpectedly found something cool/rare?

I was at a used bookstore today when I saw this nice hardcover volume in the clearance bin. It's a collection of writing extracts from over a hundred black thinkers throughout American history. $1.50 for a book with a list price of $30? I couldn't pass that up. Anyway, check out what I discovered when I got home.







Okay, so this hardly qualifies as finding a mint copy of Action Comics #1, but within the context of my dull life, I thought it was pretty darn cool.

Anyone got any similar stories?

(Also, shame on "Donna" for giving away this copy for a quarter of the list priced in store credit!)

 

I randomly found a VHS set of the '95 release of the O-OT* (man I hate that goddamn acronym) in February of 2001 at a Walmart.


*Yeah, yeah we don't discuss Star Wars the JCC, something something.

 

I once saw a copy of the Atari 2600 E.T. game at a local Goodwill.

 

Some people once saw a copy of the Atari 2600 E.T. game at their local landfill.

 

I saw an article on the internet about people finding a copy of the Atari 2600 E.T game at their local landfill.

 

I got a 1914 mercantile atlas of the world signed by the Portland harbor master from a nautical store for $5.00

 

This 4 book Star wars box-set that Steve Sansweet hadn't seen before.



Here's the background thread;

Picked one of these up at a local garage sale for $1 back in 2009.

I understand it's worth like $50. Cha-Ching!

 

EDIT: Read some of that thread. Man, Siths_Revenge/Wilderness_Comedian was a ****, wasn't he?

 

Both cool and rare. I don't like medium rare.

 

He was a very very special person.

 

I miss his unique threads like "Superman Returns wasn't very good on XBox."

 

This is also a classic: http://boards.theforce.net/threads/the-f-o-m-o-interview-todays-guest-aaylasecurowned.26925132

I still own my copy!

 

A fleshlight at a rummage sale. It was the Teagan Presley one.

 

Is that what Malcolm McDowell is holding there in your avatar? It's definitely a flashlight of some sort.
