Download or read book How to Find Hidden Treasures at Garage Sales written by Hugh Kelley and published by Hyperink Inc. This book was released on 2012-03-04 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK Some people dream of being astronauts; others aspire to be doctors. I grew up to be a part-time picker. Finding treasure for sale - cheap - in other peoples garages or basements, combines the thrill of the hunt with the payoff of some extra cash. It feeds the curiosity bug, and keeps me out of crowded, expensive malls. Its a passion, and its got some basic, unspoken rules that will help you search out, identify and collect items for your pleasure and profit. So what kind of picker do you want to be? This is important, because one size does not fit all here... MEET THE AUTHOR Hugh Kelley is a journalist, writer, woodworker, antique picker and lover of fine art in all its forms. He's also a pretty good baker and cook. He's worked worldwide covering stories from earthquakes to revolutions, and when he's not in the middle of the news, he's looking for antiques in out-of-the-way shops and alleys. He's always looking to bring hidden treasures back into the light of today from the closets, attics and barns of America. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK These web sites are all hungry for you to view their listings and get you exposed to their advertisers. There is often an easy-to-use search function thatll help you dial into your state, city and local area. Some of the listings web sites are free, so there is plenty of incentive for local estate sale business owners to list. Others, like estatesales.net, charge the company for the listing. Whatever their business model, use the internet to search out all the opportunities for you in the coming week. And dont forget to spread your search geographically at times. Look for upcoming sales in towns near your town, or even a drive away. If you live in a major metropolitan area, there will be plenty of sales, but dont ignore the outlying areas. Sometimes a drive will bring you to a sale with great prices and not much competition for the best stuff. While most garage and yard sales are Saturday/Sunday affairs, many estate sales companies begin their sales Thursday or Friday, and then run through the weekend. They do this to appeal to their main clientele: antique dealers and collectors. Running a sale on a Thursday morning means that the traffic coming through the door has cash and is ready to spend. These buyers are professionals, and the estate sales companies know that theyll come back week after week if the deals are good and the merchandise is priced right... Buy a copy to keep reading!

Download or read book The Secret written by Byron Preiss and published by ibooks. This book was released on 2016-10-05 with total page 1 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The tale begins over three-hundred years ago, when the Fair People—the goblins, fairies, dragons, and other fabled and fantastic creatures of a dozen lands—fled the Old World for the New, seeking haven from the ways of Man. With them came their precious jewels: diamonds, rubies, emeralds, pearls... But then the Fair People vanished, taking with them their twelve fabulous treasures. And they remained hidden until now... Across North America, these twelve treasures, over ten-thousand dollars in precious jewels, are buried. The key to finding each can be found within the twelve full color paintings and verses of The Secret. Yet The Secret is much more than that. At long last, you can learn not only the whereabouts of the Fair People's treasure, but also the modern forms and hiding places of their descendants: the Toll Trolls, Maitre D'eamons, Elf Alphas, Tupperwerewolves, Freudian Sylphs, Culture Vultures, West Ghosts and other delightful creatures in the world around us. The Secret is a field guide to them all. Many "armchair treasure hunt" books have been published over the years, most notably Masquerade (1979) by British artist Kit Williams. Masquerade promised a jewel-encrusted golden hare to the first person to unravel the riddle that Williams cleverly hid in his art. In 1982, while everyone in Britain was still madly digging up hedgerows and pastures in search of the golden hare, The Secret: A Treasure Hunt was published in America. The previous year, author and publisher Byron Preiss had traveled to 12 locations in the continental U.S. (and possibly Canada) to secretly bury a dozen ceramic casques. Each casque contained a small key that could be redeemed for one of 12 jewels Preiss kept in a safe deposit box in New York. The key to finding the casques was to match one of 12 paintings to one of 12 poetic verses, solve the resulting riddle, and start digging. Since 1982, only two of the 12 casques have been recovered. The first was located in Grant Park, Chicago, in 1984 by a group of students. The second was unearthed in 2004 in Cleveland by two members of the Quest4Treasure forum. Preiss was killed in an auto accident in the summer of 2005, but the hunt for his casques continues.
