Earlier this year I responded to a craigslist post regarding a church garage sale. The guy running the sale responded very quickly and sent pictures of the bobbleheads up for sale. There were roughly 15 and of those I probably already had around 8 of them. As I typically do (more on this in my next blog) I responded to see if I could buy them all (at a reduced price). The guy responded and said he had several responses to his ad and didn't want to sell anything before the garage sale. Fair enough, I set up a reminder for the sale, which started on a Saturday morning. I arrived and much to my surprise...the owner decided to run an impromptu auction for the bobbleheads. I knew this was bad news for me as I wasn't there to spend a ton of money. There was one bobblehead I really wanted. Usually I have an idea of what a bobblehead is worth and a range of its selling price. This one - no clue. I had seen it a couple times before but never saw a final sale price. The one I wanted was the last one to sell...I bid right away...no one else bid and I got it for $5. Check it out!
