On person's junk is another person's treasure. And when you hit a garage sale you will usually see a little of both. The trick is to know which and which and then spend your money on the good stuff. In this series, our antique store owner shares advice on how to evaluate your antiquing finds, be they worth a fortune or worth nothing at all.

In this series of garage sale instructional videos, our expert gives you the lowdown on common yard sale items. Wondering if that old Coors Beer sign is worth the asking price? Is old Boy Scout gear collectible? How about vintage magazines? Learn the facts from an experienced antique store owner. Those comic books and baseball cards on display in a neighbor's front yard could be worth a fortune or worth nothing at all. Knowledge is power, or in some cases knowledge is the ten bucks you saved because you held off buying barbie dolls that are not worth what the neighbors were charging. Watch this series and save face as well as money!
