Linda Stafford has been going to garage sales for 30 years, and taking good-natured ribbing from her family all the while.

Now, the tables have turned.

Stafford has found more than $3,000 in bills dating from 1928 to 1953 in the bottom of a high-backed chair she bought at a garage sale -- for two bucks.

Talk about some luck! The full story on the find can be found here.

with money fromt that time frame, there might be some worth more than face value. maily the coins.

Whoa maybe I should start going to garage sales lol

Article dead , but for paper money to last that long...woah

She is the 1337 garage sell lady!!

She pwns the noobie shoppers!!

Hey, I tell you what.. I always check items. I have bought many things at yard sales, etc.. and have found items in what I bought that had some good value. Sometimes many people do not check things they are selling. I remember buying a Mac System for $50, the woman said it was broke per her son, and could not fixed. I took it home, powered it up and it worked flawlessly. Had a DVD Drive/Burner and was a IMac.. Came with OS9 original disks and lots of software. I could not believe it.. Doesn't happen often, but when it does..

As of this year, I am now in training as a "Professional Garage-Saler." Every Wednesday, I go to 10-20 garage sales with some professionals, and you'd be surprised at the deals you find! I have an entire World Book Encyclopedia set, a science encyclopedia set and World Book Dictionaries for $4...

lol, and they're probably from 1945.

1991, actually...they are still pretty accurate, and not a lot has happened in 15 years (compared to the grand scheme of things). They are still very useful.

Still not worth my $4. I think I'd rather buy a meal from McDonald's then cry about how its going to make me feel fat for that kind of money.
