For $200M I would take the hit on not being fashionable.

Bullshit.

I've found some very cool stuff at garage sales, (including a '74 Ducati GT750 that was housed out back, in a chicken coop).

If I see a bunch of baby clothes and toys, and "collectible" Avon bottles, I won't stop, but...the absence of those things can mean you are about to stumble onto something unique.

That's the cool thing about garage sales, you never know what you might find. Have you no sense of adventure?

I'm still hoping to find that minty '62 P-bass that used to belong to grandpa for only $75

...and if you hit one that's a pizzed off recently seperated/divorced female that's selling her husband's tools/toys and don't really care what she gets for them...or a recent widower selling her deceased husband's stuff...just saying...good stuff can be had...cheap.

At least this is what I have been told...

I do....but...I prefer to look for adventures riding...or scuba diving...sky diving...trying a new fitness regimen...travelling the world.

Rummaging around like a greedy voyeuristic vulture in someone elses junk pile? Not so much.

Depends on the junk pile. It worked for Indiana Jones.

It's called a garage "sale." Where's the greed trading money for goods? You're probably just like my brother. Has to be new or its crap.
