    I was watching the local news, this guy stopped at a yard sale and bought a old fishing lure for a dollar, it was from the 1800's never been used and in the original package, he then finds out that it may be worth something, so he puts in on e-bay and some rich dude payed $ 63.000 bucks for it, I was like holy moly I COULDN'T believe that someone would pay so much for something that little, so every time I go to a yard sale now I look for old fishing gear but I problebly wont get that lucky but then again ya never know. Keep your eyes peeled folks and happy hunting at those yard sales.

    alot of people will pay for this brand of lure called MACK'S because the owner died and theys hut down and they're outta production but i don't think they're worth a huge amount like that. my next door neighbor just told me about this.
