I picked up a Browning (FN made) 16ga and six boxes of shells today for $75.00. I suspect it's a 1930s gun as it was delivered to Browning Arms St. Louis, MO.
X prefix 5-diget serial. Cutts Comp. Safety in front of trigger. Sound shotgun. The Deal of the Day was a Winchester receivered M1917 refurb I got for $50.00 from the same guy. It never made it home as I traded it straight-up for a Type 1 Luftwaffe Fallschirmjäger - Gravity Knife by SMF so no pics of that one. 
Here's the knife though.

Considering that it's a capitalist economy and the seller was satisfied with the trade.
Besides the point above, you ripped them off. Or you made out like a bandit. However you view it. Nice! |

X prefix is 1947. These were the first of the Sweet Sixteens, they didn't start engraving them as such until 1948. Its worth about 3000.00, but you got your knife.

They all suck around here. If you get out at sunrise you might find some good tools or maybe a mini bike. After that it's nothing but baby clothes and patio furniture. |

I picked up a Ruger PC-9 for 250 for few years ago. Shoot it a few times and decided it was too heavy for the caliber and sold it on GunBroker. At another garage sale I saw the guy had some clay pigeons. I asked if he had any guns. He brought out a bolt action .22 and Mossberg 500 12ga. I paid 120 for both.

Did garage sales today myself. Picked up a 1964 D Roosevelt Dime, slabbed PCGS in a test Ruffco, MS-64 for $5.00. Worth about $70.00 or so.

I once found a K98 mauser at a garage sale. It had been leaning against the garage wall forever on a concrete floor.
It was in so bad a shape that for $60 I did not buy it. I almost did, just to say that I had bought a gun at a garage sale. |

I picked up a Fisher 500 receiver for 10 bucks from a community sale today.
My dumbass did pass on what the big ass home made cabinet that it was in. The cabinet did have a turntable, and, what I think was a Gray Research tonearm. (I did not realize that those tonearms sell for over 500) I went back about 20 minutes later and the cabinet was gone. And to be honest, it could have been a Garrard tonearm, but I think it was a Grey, I just did not pay much attention at the time.....

What's the knife worth? It's base worth is a solid $600.00 what with the punch marks on one of the scales. That hurts it a bit. 
I figure it was a good even-up trade for the M1917 worth wise. I traded for it at a LGS and was straight about what I paid for the M1917. For them it will be a lot easier to move the M1917 than the knife. They had already moved two M1917s I had traded there for $600.00 each, neither lasted very long. The knife had been there for at least six years and as far as I know I'm the only one that expressed any real interest in it. They had it priced at the very top-end of it's worth for a Type 1 SMF at $750.00. Now were it a Type 2 take-down SMF it would be worth well over 1K. |

OP, great score! If only the yard sales around here had such gems. My wife brought home about 3,000 LEGOS 2 days ago that she got for $15. They are strewn across my bedroom floor. I stepped on them last night getting out of bed and miraculously there were so many that my weight was evenly distributed and it didn't hurt me a bit. Reminded me of walking on coals, lol! I seriously need a Lego stash again....call me childish but Legos are the bomb
