Fubar231 Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 PHOENIX, Ariz. - KSAZ-TV has the story of a man who made a small investment turn into a huge profit. Zach Norris spotted a special watch at the Phonix Goodwill priced at $6. He researched the piece and found out that it was valuable. KSAZ reports that Norris contacted San Francisco watch specialist Eric Ku and confirmed the worth of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Deep Sea Alarm he had found at the thrift store. Ku told Norris he would buy the watch, so Norris flew out to San Francisco to give it to him in person. The men agreed on the price of $35,000. Ku says he added a Norris a Omega Speedster Professional to the deal too. http://www.10tv.com/content/graphics/2015/02/05/watch_sale.PNG?__scale=w:300,h:169,t:3,c:transparent,q:80,r:2 Wow!!!

jeffro Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Saw this over on /r/goodwillhauls I hit up the goodwill in Delaware once or twice a week looking for stuff like this. They have a decent selection of cheap cheap cheap electronics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wnaplay1647545503 Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Seems unbelievable. All the thrift stores around here research everything including cloths brands before items hit the floor. They make it their business to know what stuff sells for retail.

TTQ B4U Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Not a jewelry guy myself. Have a nice Rolex and Breitling and wear them on rare occasions but they were sales awards. I'd never spend money on something like them. IMO to spend that much on a watch is silly. Same thing for Montblanc pens. I have a set around here somewhere but I wouldn't doubt it if they got sold at a garage sale. Rocking my dumb ass smart watch lately only because it has real functionality.
