4 Garage Sale Finds Worth Way More Than You'll Ever Believe

Image
Garage sales are pretty much the only institutions in America where one person's trash truly is another one's treasure. They're perfect for lightening your load before a move on the one hand, or, if you've just settled in, acquiring new stuff for a mere fraction of the original price. And most of the stuff you'll come across is, admittedly, pretty junky. But once in a while, you'll find something special. Only just how special those unicorns hiding in someone's driveway garage sale could turn out to be might astonish you. As proof, check out these four amazing garage sale finds that ended up being worth way more than their purchasers originally guessed. If these don't convince you to think twice about pawing through other people's refuse (or holding onto what you've got if you suspect it's worth something), we don't know what will.

Tamir Harris' family about his death

Brittany Moody was trembling with tears in her eyes Wednesday afternoon as she described the moment the father of her children was killed on Fourth Avenue in front of his three children. “The only thing I could do was close my eyes and scream,” said Moody, who is four months pregnant with one of Tamir Harris’ 12 children. “He shot him in my face.” Moody said Harris, 33, was standing outside of a car speaking with her mother Tuesday morning as his 2-year-old stood by his side. She said she sat in the backseat of the car with her 1-year-old daughter. Harris’ friend sat in another car with Harris’ 11-month-old baby, according to Moody’s account of the incident. Moody, who is the mother of four of his children, said that’s when a man she didn’t know walked up to Harris, put a gun to his head and shot him. She said he aimed the weapon at her and her family when she tried to get the young boy to safety. “He walked off like he didn’t give a d--n,” Moody said as she struggled to hold back te...

Anchorage’s port is already falling apart. With the clock ticking, who will pay to fix it?

In about 10 years, the docks at the Port of Anchorage will start closing, crippled by corrosion, unless major repairs are made. But with the clock ticking, it's still unclear who will pay for it, and how. Without a big injection of state or federal funding, officials say the port, which opened in 1961, is more likely to resort to a tariff that leads to higher prices on the vast majority of consumer products that come into the state. That means everyone would pay a little more for a gallon of milk, a loaf of bread, a car or a sheet of plywood. A scary incident at the port earlier this summer accentuated warnings about its condition. At 7 a.m. June 26, the Holland America cruise ship MS Amsterdam docked at the port. Waves kicked up by the ship while it was docking broke the severely corroded underwater base of two columns holding up the port — causing a 57,000- pound dock fender to break off and sink into the adjacent berth. Corroded metal pipes , part of a fender ...
