One of my favorite pastimes is shopping at flea markets and thrift shops for vintage and antique items. I enjoy the anticipation of not knowing what I’ll find.
Of course, the objective is to discover something genuinely special and possibly priceless that is still available for a fraction of a dollar.
If you’re fortunate, you’ll come across some fantastic deals and come out ahead.
But only a select few are as fortunate as Randy Guijarro.
An old photo album with black and white pictures of his relatives and friends cost Randy two dollars at a garage sale.
He doubted their monetary value, but bought them for their special beauty, regardless of his doubts.
He went through them when he got home and found that the vast majority of them were useless.
But then he realized that a familiar face appeared in one of the pictures.
One of the most notorious outlaws of the Wild West was Billy the Kid. William H., also known as “Billy the Kid,”. At the age of only 23, Bonney, as his given name was, was shot and killed in 1881.
Any image of him is priceless because it is so difficult to find an image of him.
Randy’s two dollars were well spent on the movie, which is now a priceless classic.
He made a staggering $5 million from the sale of the shot.
What a find at the antique mall or thrift shop!
