Thats how I got my 5000, it had been offered in a garage sale for 3 weekends for 1000.00 dollars and no one purchased it, then a friend told me about it and sure enough when I showed up it was still there, go figure. I did give her 2 one ounce gold coins for it when gold was 1850 an ounce, as I knew her and her husband before he had passed. Funny that her husband said he only gave 1500 for it new, uh, ok, I thought.
