estate sale

Everybody who shops estate sales hopes for an Antiques Roadshow moment. That’s when something inexpensive turns out to be valuable. It happened to me when I joined my coworkers for an estate sale on our lunch break. There wasn’t much that interested me, so I sat down while they kept looking. Next to my chair, a rack of two-dollar records. I flipped and it was the usual stuff – Nana Mouskouri, etc. Then, paydirt. Three 10-inch records. I knew that one was seriously collectable. I bought them because, well, $6.00. They are: Yodelingly Yours Jimmie Rodgers, Volume 1, Greek Folksongs, Irma Kolassi, Marches of the World, The Vienna Symphony Orchestra, Conductor Richard Stolz. The Rodgers is valued at $100+.
