Modern Day Crusaders

A few centuries ago it was the quest for the Holy Grail,
but today it's the "Holy Sale" as garage sale addicts
everywhere search for gold in the form of lost or
unidentified treasures. They do this with a fervor not
seen since since the real crusade.
Great discoveries are announced regularly on the "Antique
Road Show," where proud crusaders hold up tiny baskets and
other finds worth hundreds of dollars. Then they announce
to the multitudes, " I paid 50 cents for this basket so my
little dog Sophie would have a place to sleep."
If you don't think stories like this are affecting the
garage sale landscape, you haven't been to a garage sale
recently. On a typical Saturday morning, hoards of garage
sale addicts are charging down a street near you! Cars
line streets as the crusaders pursue the impossible dream.
But the dream is possible after all; they saw it on The
Antique Road Show! That lost Winslow Homer, that Shaker
chair, that Tiffany master piece is out there, and they
are going to find it!
It seems that garage sales aren't just for newly weds
furnishing their first apartment anymore. Today, a cross
section of humanity jostles their way to the tables at a
typical sale. Just look at the cars lining the road.
Mercedes and other luxury cars are sandwiched in between
the working class autos,trucks and clunkers. What is
going on here? The answer is simple. There are treasures
to discover, and there is something more.
Garage sales are now respectable!
